[OSM-dev] Planet dump from Osmosis diffs this week

The script to run the weekly planet dump has failed 3 times this week.
The exact reason is not yet clear. 

As a replacement I have generated a weekly dump by applying the daily
diffs to last weeks dump using Osmosis. The XML output has a few minor
differences compared to the normal format which might break some tools.

It is not clear whether this will be a one-off event or if we should do
the same next week. On the plus side this file can be generated more
rapidly and is self-consistent. On the downside, it is missing the uid
column and we are relying completely on the diff process working
reliably (e.g. no truncated UTF-8 problems).
