[Imports] Latvia-bot

[Dāvis Kļaviņš]

Thank you for the clarification! Updated everything as it makes sense to
use one tag for all types of settlements and description of the tag matches
the use case ("the name of the largest settlement (city / town / other)
that is included in the address"). At the same time, tags addr:town,
addr:village and addr:hamlet are used in OSM, but not all of them even have
a wiki page in English. Originally, addr:place was chosen for the bot to
avoid separate tags addr:village and addr:hamlet which also were not used
as much. Addr:city seemed to be misleading for some users due to its name
indicating city. If I started from scratch defining address tags for OSM, I
would use addr:place for all these cases as its name better indicates that
various types of settlements are included. For me, it doesn't seem logical
to define separate tag only for cases when there is no street as using the
same settlement tag when there is one seems fine. In Latvia, when there is
no street, addr:housename is used instead of addr:housenumber.
