[Tagging] aerialway=drag_lift

[Colin Smale]

Drag lift is more generic - both t-bar and platter (and rope_tow) are
subtypes of drag lift. The distinction between t-bar, platter and
rope_tow is very important to some people (particularly inexperienced
skiers). In some areas like Austria the t-bar is more popular whereas in
France you see only platters.

> I think we can delete aerialway=drag_lift of Openstreetmap's wiki because it's a duplication of platter. Same thing for t-bar, for 2 places platters, we have the tag aerialway:occupancy=2, which is not easily parametrable in iD editor.
