[Imports] Uganda Bureau of Statistics educational facilities import

[Jo]

For information that you want to show to the importer, but don't  want to
risk uploading, you could abuse one of the following tags:

created_by
odbl

and a few other tags that get discarded before the upload takes place, at
least when using JOSM. I feel we should have a few dedicated tags for that
purpose, but that is something to solve at the editor level.
