Now removed all 3957 relations that matched the rules listed above, in
changeset http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2296863

I inspected the note= tags of all these relations and unfortunately
many of them contained some explanations in German but I think they
actually said the relations were supposed to be deleted, not the
opposite (my German is very limited).
