[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - hiking_trail_relation_roles

[Andrew Harvey]

I agree with Peter, it'll probably be better to start with the basics, get
that approved so at least there is some improvement, then move forward with
the more complicated parts of the proposal.

In terms of the role names proposed I noticed that it is a very similar to
a schema I came up with for creating hiking routes from OSM data,
https://gitlab.com/beyondtracks/beyondtracks-walks#ways. I have
role=primary (main), sidetrack (excursion), altroute (alternate),
transit_connection (approach) and find this covers most of what you need to
represent.

Though I think the proposal needs more emphasis that these should only be
mapped if these alternate routes,excursions or approaches are verifiable on
the ground through signage, otherwise it's subjective based on opinion. It
already says "Only add secondary trails to the relation that are really
part of the trail route, not made up or other trail routes." but I think it
needs to be clearer.
