[Tagging] Deprecate amenity=youth_centre in favour of sub-tag community_centre=* or community_centre:for=*

There is amenity=arts_centre which is a subclass of
amenity=community_centre. It's used 11 688 times. So the cat's out of the
bag, why wouldn't you use youth_centre if we already use art_centre?

But another thing bothers me with youth_centre, and that is, what if it is
an arts_centre for youths? In that case we could use the social_facility
scheme, and put arts_centre:for=youth. But if it's a community_centre for
youths to do anything, I wouldn't be against amenity=youth_centre.
