For some destinations, directions to the feature’s centroid would be misleading. osm-search/Nominatim#3807 has added an `entrance` property with additional features that the user could select from for more precise routing. These features could be inserted into the list requested in #6368, to give the user more convenient access to the entrances without having to specifically find them on the map first.
Although the site isn’t designed for a consumer-grade navigation experience, exposing these entrances when getting directions would benefit mappers by allowing them to see how routers react to entrance mapping. In the absence of this kind of functionality, mappers sometimes reduce detail in the map for the benefit of routers, replacing an area with a node and arbitrarily scooting the node towards an entrance, at the expense of renderers.
Depends on #6368.
