[Imports] Importing STLevis GTFS Data (Bus stops and routes)

Hello,

I would like to propose importing Bus Stops as well as Bus routes for 
the STLévis service region.

The data is released under the CC-BY 4.0 license, and a waiver has been 
granted [1].
Data is available from the *Société de transport de Lévis*'s website [2]

I have added the STLévis network to PTNA [3] in order to allow easy 
comparison of existing data in OSM and the data contained from the GTFS 
feed.

I propose to use a Python script in order to import the data, which is a 
fork of the script used for importing GTFS data for the STL [4]. The 
script used can be found on GitHub

After the data has been generated, some manual conflation will be 
required due to 2 existing routes being mapped, and some routes having 
erroneous trip data in the GTFS as they are marked as having different 
directions (`direction_id`) when the route is a loop.

There are some stops that overlap with the RTC (Réseau de transport de 
la Capitale), however those are signposted separately and should be not 
be conflated together

A wiki page discussing the import has been made. [5]


I have posted this import proposal to the following platforms:
