[Tagging] Blatant tagging for the renderer: bridges & abandoned railways

[Mateusz Konieczny]

"case made there very clearly for (just) rendering the bridges"

That is handled in a separate issue:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1320

Before commenting in this issue please carefully read existing comments,
especially the first two.

"I don't like tagging for the renderer and normally avoid it, but in this
case it seems to be necessary to maintain the reputation of OSM/mapnik."

Please, avoid tagging as rendering as method for maintaining reputation of
OSM/default map style. This is not helpful.
