[Tagging] Access by permit

I mentioned two different situations where access=permit would also be the
most logical tag:

- access to a Low Emission Zone

- access to certain roads in cities (e.g. this road is accesible to certain
motor_vehicle if they ask for a permit:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/25728312)

It would be nice if a definition of permit would not monopolize it for use
on trails only. Once this gets used, people will use it for more than just
that.

Second point is that while access=permit will solve a rendering issue, it
will not solve the current routing issue. Noone will change the value of a
road to motor_vehicle=permit right now, because routing will just be
allowed.

A solution where we start of with an extra, specialised tag could
documented as being synonymous with *=permit. Routers could implement this
first. Then, when they have done so, we can formalize *=permit and use our
special tag to find objects that should be migrated to the *=permit tagging
style.
