[Tagging] antenna type

[Sergio Manzi]

I like it!

To me it makes much more sense to tag telecom=BTS (Base Transceiver Station, see [1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_transceiver_station>]) than man_made:antenna + antenna:type=whatever.

But BTS is not indicated as possible value for telecom=* in the wiki...

Cheers,

Sergio
