[Imports] Importing fuel stations in UK and future similar imports

[Jo]

created_by is deprecated, but JOSM will take care of that.
source belongs on the changeset

Is it possible to include brand:wikidata=Q154950 ? US, Canada and Nigeria
seem to have different wikidata ids.

I'm not sure about operator, shouldn't that be the person/company operating
that particular branch?

Maybe it's a good idea to be careful with name. Aren't there cases where
this includes the name of the operator/subsidiary/franchise + the brand?
