[Tagging] Slow vehicle turnouts

The solid line is a special case. So many other turn-outs/climbing 
lanes/... have a dashed line or even no line at all. I wouldn't make a 
difference based on markings.

I also strongly favor the lines solution but wonder if we could not 
stretch the turn key a bit. Something along 
turn:lanes:forward=through|turn-out.
