[Tagging] Aerodrome types

[John Packer]

One issue with the tagging schema that you specified is that it doesn't
make it clear whether the aerodrome is a "public airport".

Actually, I found out there is a better definition for what I was calling
simply "airport" or "public airport".
It's "public use aerodrome".
According to [1],

I do agree using a separate tag to define whether an airport supports
international flights seems appropriate.
This way we could also take into consideration the "alternatively
international" airports i.e. airports that only receive international
flights when the original ones can't.
I read in wikipedia[2] there are some airports that do have international
flights, but are limited to some close countries, and are therefore called
"regional". Perhaps we could treat this case in this same key.
