[Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

[Volker Schmidt]

I must admit that I haven't checked the wiki. The thing started with
warnings by JOSM that said that I should not apply width to a node. I
checked tag info and that confirmed that the use is sporadic only.
To me width fits perfectly to a node of type barrier like a gate or a cycle
barrier
