customer/create_account/vat_frontend_visibility gets saved using the websites scope while it's being retrieved using the stores scope

[royvanos]

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.1.3 CE
2. PHP 7.0.12
3. MySQL 5.7.11-0ubuntu6

Steps to reproduce

1. Any Magento 2.1.3 installation
2. Go to Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration
3. Switch to "Main Website" scope
4. Set the "Show VAT Number on Storefront" value to "Yes"
5. Save Config

Expected result

1. vendor/magento/module-customer/Helper/Address.php:369 should retrieve customer/create_account/vat_frontend_visibility using the websites scope as the config gets saved in the database using the websites scope.

Actual result

1. vendor/magento/module-customer/Helper/Address.php:369 retrieves customer/create_account/vat_frontend_visibility using the store scope which (I think) makes it fall back to the default scope.

I worked around this issue by setting the customer/create_account/vat_frontend_visibility using the stores scope manually in the core_config_data table.
