[OSM-dev] Resurrecting deleted objects

[Dave Hansen]

I was inspired to do this because a few TIGER uploads have had "issues"
when someone deleted nodes in the middle of an upload.  So far, I've
fixed those up by hand, but they *SUCK* to do that way.

Anyway, here's an update to the perl APIClientV5 which allows bringing
objects "back from the dead".  I've attached another script modified
from bulk_upload.pl to call into the new APIClientV5 function:
resurrect().

It'll also check ways that you want resurrected to ensure that all of
the nodes are in place and exist before performing its actions.

Thoughts?
