[Tagging] New key proposal - paved=yes/no

[Pee Wee]

No it not a language problem  or a dictionary issue. It's about an OSM data
consumer (openfietmap)  that thinks it is important to for cyclist to know
what type of paving can be expected.  Paved, unpaved and semi-paved to keep
it simple. I think this is OK and it works for me.

Cheers
