[Tagging] sidewalk width

[Christian Pietzsch]

I'm still having my problems with separate sidewalks if they are attached
directly to the street. Most (all) routing engines will make bigger detours
to the next intersection instead of simply crossing the street. For example
(
https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=51.047343%2C12.797796&point=51.047138%2C12.798085&locale=de-DE&vehicle=foot&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&layer=Omniscale
)
And in my opinion it doesn't follow the on-the-ground rule either because
there are two separated way while in reality you could easily get from one
to the other.
