Either of those would work.  Between those two, I'm inclined toward
railway=adjacent so the search would be something like
"highway=(path|footway|cycleway) and railway=(abandoned|adjacent)".

Another possibility would be to use rail_trail=yes, which would apply to
any rail trail.  It would be implied by a non-motor-vehicle highway= tag
and railway=abandoned, but could always be specified to be unambiguous.
