mu init outputs a table, where --my-address becomes "personal-address" in the "property" column.

However, there is also a concept of "personal" in mu4e, which is different from the concept of my-address.

I think it would be a good change to remove some confusion by changing "personal-address" to "my-address" in the output of mu init.

"Personal" in mu means that the message matches one of "my" addresses.

If anything, perhaps it'd be better to rename --my-address into --personal-address (with an alias for backward compat). But seems something for a new (1.14.x) mu release.
