[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC (etc) for crossing:signals

> - Unmarked crossings are abstract "fictions" representing where an individual might cross the street, marked crossings are identifiable from imagery.
> - Because unmarked crossings are "fictions", they are only suggested places to cross, according to the mapper. In contrast, marked crossings are "official".
>
Just because mapping something requires real survey rather than mapping from aerial imagery is
not making it fictional or unofficial.

> - Marked crossings are one of the few pedestrian spaces that can be straightforwardly considered as a linear feature: it connects spaces across a street.
>
Typical footway is also linear.

> - Marked crossings tend to have legal implications, as you note.
>
Unmarked crossings may also have legal implications (for example in Poland).
