Add validate address options (#804)

* Add validate address options

I have added the 2 main tools that Parity has created to validate ss58 addresses. I also added a list of places for developers to look for some more code examples to use to create their own custom validation tools in various languages.

+## Validating Addresses
+
+There are several ways to verify that a value is a valid SS58 address.
+
+### Subkey
+
+You can use the [Subkey](https://substrate.dev/docs/en/knowledgebase/integrate/subkey) `inspect`
+subcommand, which accepts the seed phrase, a hex-encoded private key, or an SS58 address as the input
+URI. If the input is a valid address, it will return a list containing the corresponding public
+key (hex), account ID, and SS58 values.
+
+Subkey assumes that an address is based on a public/private keypair. In the case of inspecting an
+address, it will return the 32 byte account ID. Not all addresses in Substrate-based networks are
+based on keys.
+
+> **Note:** If you input a valid SS58 value, Subkey will also return a network ID/version value
+> that indicates for which network the address has been encoded.
+
+```bash
+# A valid address.
+$ subkey inspect "12bzRJfh7arnnfPPUZHeJUaE62QLEwhK48QnH9LXeK2m1iZU"
+Public Key URI `12bzRJfh7arnnfPPUZHeJUaE62QLEwhK48QnH9LXeK2m1iZU` is account:
+  Network ID/version: polkadot
+  Public key (hex):   0x46ebddef8cd9bb167dc30878d7113b7e168e6f0646beffd77d69d39bad76b47a
+  Account ID:         0x46ebddef8cd9bb167dc30878d7113b7e168e6f0646beffd77d69d39bad76b47a
+  SS58 Address:       12bzRJfh7arnnfPPUZHeJUaE62QLEwhK48QnH9LXeK2m1iZU
+
+# An invalid address.
+$ subkey inspect "12bzRJfh7arnnfPPUZHeJUaE62QLEwhK48QnH9LXeK2m1iZUInvalidAddress"
+Invalid phrase/URI given
+```
+
+### Polkadot.js
+
+For verifying an address in your JavaScript projects, you can utilize the functions built
+into the [Polkadot.js API](https://polkadot.js.org/docs/api/).
+
+```javascript
+// Import Polkadot.js API dependencies.
+const { decodeAddress, encodeAddress } = require("@polkadot/keyring");
+const { hexToU8a, isHex } = require("@polkadot/util");
+
+// Specify an address to test.
+const address = "<addressToTest>";
+
+// Check address.
+const isValidSubstrateAddress = () => {
+  try {
+    encodeAddress(isHex(address) ? hexToU8a(address) : decodeAddress(address));
+
+    return true;
+  } catch (error) {
+    return false;
+  }
+};
+
+// Query result.
+const isValid = isValidSubstrateAddress();
+console.log(isValid);
+```
+
+### Community Built
+
+Below you will find a list of other Substrate API tools built in various languages by our community.
+They each validate addresses in their own way, and can act as a starting point.
