[Imports] Map missing fuel stations based on info published by company running them

I want to use data published by Orlen to map their fuel stations that
are missing from the map.

I thought that we maybe cannot use this kind of sources (
https://github.com/alltheplaces/alltheplaces/issues/5133 ), but it
turned out we can (
https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_Working_Group/Minutes/2023-08-14#Ticket#2023081110000064_%E2%80%94_First_party_websites_as_sources
). (I write here partially to be sure that I am not misinterpreting LWG
decision)

I want to use Orlen data via AllThePlaces dataset that adds no
copyright restrictions. So I will obtain data from
https://www.alltheplaces.xyz/ (
https://alltheplaces-data.openaddresses.io/runs/2024-01-20-13-32-00/output/orlen.geojson
to be more specific).

This is my initial attempt and I want to use ATP data to 

- locate places where there is fuel station not mapped in OSM (by
  comparing OpenStreetMap data and AllThePlaces data)
- confirm locations with aerial imagery skipping cases where fuel
  station is not visible on aerial imagery
- add fuel stations based on aerial imagery and with names based on ATP
  (maybe also opening hours and brand tags?)

I may ask others for help but I expect that volume of useful data will
be low.

Currently there are 258 Orlen stations without nearby amenity=fuel in OSM.

In cases where fuel station will not be visible in aerial imagery I
will skip it. (I already found some quite surprising cases, it is
definitely not suitable for an automated import)

I am also considering locating cases where Orlen data locates Orlen
fuel station but OSM has other name - it is likely that we have
outdated data but it would need checking for wrong data (maybe old
branding is still present? Maybe there are multiple fuel stations in
one place?)
