[Imports] Latitude and longitude tags and other TIGER 2009 import issues

[Andy Allan]

Meta information about the import (like this) should be on the
changeset, not the geodata. And the timestamp of when the conversion
script was run is probably of no interest to anyone, since the upload
time is stored on the changeset.

Cheers,
Andy
