[Imports] Ethiopia POI Import

[Mateusz Konieczny]

For start, publish this dataset to allow judge its quality.

I am highly dubious that adding cafes, kiosks and hotels
based on up to 12 year old data is a good idea.

I am unfamiliar with Ethiopia, but in Europe in such old data
very large part of object would be not existing anymore.

Also, you would need to contact local community and ask
whether importing this dataset is welcome
(I see that you posted to mailing list, see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact_channels
for listings of other possible communities).

I would be opposed to this import, but if local community 
disagrees and wants to add this data - feel free to ignore this.

Note that imports would require elimination of all duplicates.

It should be set to date when object was confirmed to exist.

> One approach to import the data would be to merge the OSM file we have with the OSM data, do some basic duplication checks and then upload with a dedicated OSM user.
> The check_date would be set to 2016-01-01 or something like that in order to allow easier quality checks via apps like StreetComplete on the ground.
