MapQuest requires an API key to use their regular geocoding API. This is not their "Nominatim" service (which now also requires an API key), but rather their regular geocoding service that includes additional licensed data vs. their Nominatim offering.

The attached patch add MapQuest as a geocoding provider. It includes a field for the user's API key on the geocoder module settings page.

MapQuest seems to have the most generous terms of use on their free plan for a low traffic private website, which made it the best alternative to Google Maps API (which must be used only on public facing websites on a free plan). This makes MapQuest a good addition on the geocoder module.
