[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Campsite properties

It's been a week since the RFC for this proposal focused on campsites
and related tourism features. It which would:

1) Deprecate booking=* (use reservation=* instead)

2)  Deprecate bbq=* (use barbecue_grill=* instead).

3) Create new wiki pages:
amenity=greywater_drain
amenity=power_supply
amenity=bear_box
scout=yes/no
waste_disposal=yes/no
bear_box=yes/no
greywater_drain=yes/no

And add new values to these pages:
Key:parking - add parking=yes/no
Key:capacity=* - capacity:tents/caravans/static_caravans would be mentioned

That's a lot of changes. So if anyone dislikes one of these changes,
please say so, so that I can separate it out into it's own proposal.

However, if all of these are non-controversial, I think it's okay to
discuss and vote on them all together, to save time for everyone.
