[Tagging] Trail intersection markers

Rather than using the tag guidepost, I think it would be better to
label the node as an intersection and then use "ref":"NS3" to label
the reference for the intersection.

Looking at the site you included,
http://hiking.lonvia.de/en/help/rendering, it appears they use name or
reference to refer to the name of the guidepost itself. In the
situation you are tagging the name applies to the intersection and not
the sign.

The most appropriate tag I could find for an intersection is junction:

"junction":"yes"
"ref":"NS3"
