[Tagging] Deprecating of leisure=common and leisure=village_green

[Daniel Koć]

(It's about landuse=village_green, not leisure=village_green, of course...)

This is the other way around - the tagging seems to be broken, so we 
think of dropping it. It's a common pattern to neglect problems just 
because they happened to bite us during rendering development process.

Let's see:

1. "A *village green* is a distinctive part of a village centre. [...] 
This tag is very often *not* used to map the situation above, but to map 
all kinds of mixed vegetation"

- that's 2 different meanings, with the second being full blown 
misinterpretation, probably tagging for rendering just because it sounds 
similar and it was visible on default map.

2. "In the UK common land is registered. [...] Use leisure 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leisure>=common to identify 
land over which the public has general rights of use for certain leisure 
activities."

Sounds like stretching UK legal definition for some reasons.

landuse=recreation_ground or leisure=recreation_ground are not loaded 
with local customs and would be good candidates to take over (they are 
both currently rendered on default map style, which would make 
transition much easier in practice).
