[Tagging] Clarification unclassified vs residential

[Erkin Alp Güney]

Service roads would be highway=service as it is now.

road_level tag also solves non-primary motorway tagging (motorroad,
autovia, non-expressway freeway, Polish S-road, Russian limited access
A-road etc.). You would tag a non-primary motorway as highway=motorway
road_level=<nonzero>.
