Refactor WHMCS client handling to improve type safety and address management. Updated methods in WhmcsService and WhmcsClientService to return NormalizedWhmcsClient type, enhancing consistency. Simplified address retrieval logic and improved caching mechanisms in WhmcsCacheService. Additionally, introduced utility functions for custom field handling in WHMCS integration workflows, ensuring better data management and clarity.
