[Tagging] With leisure=common deprecated, Senegal & Mali need a replacement

[Peter Elderson]

Seems to me that a "common" is an adequate word for such a place, so
<somekey>=common would be right.

What key to use? I think it's a use of the land. Actual use can vary, may
be leisure, may be commerce, may be  parking, maybe events.
Size may vary. Surface may vary.

landuse=common makes most sense to me.
name, surface, access etc could be added when applicable.
