[Tagging] Inclined elevators

[Guillaume Chauvat]

It is supported by the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Delevator#How_to_Map_as_a_Way

There is an issue here, closed in 2016, "at least until a discussion on the tagging list suggests otherwise."
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1953

IMHO this is really an elevator and not a funicular, but I'd be happy to convert it to a funicular if it turns out to be the accepted usage.

This is really a standard elevator running parallel to the escalators, not a funicular. Those elevators are very common here in Sweden, although most often inside metro stations.
