[OSM-newbies] JOSM spam ;-) in database

Hello!

I found that every <node /> created by JOSM has attribute set:
created_by: JOSM maybe i'm wrong, but if the <node /> is a part of
<way /> it should NOT be set because  way will have same attribute so
it will be known that it is created by JOSM.

I've greped the poland.osm file (from geofabric) and found that 480526
nodes has this TAG, every one id 35 bytes long (    <tag
k="created_by" v="JOSM"/>\n) so it is:
480526 * 35 = 16818410 bytes = 16MB in a file which is: 187MB bytes
length it is ~8.5% of a file.
