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

The deprecation was not discussed, and it was not done by anyone at
OpenStreetMap Carto, BTW.

However, it is true that this tag (leisure=common)is ambiguous because it
is being used for totally different purposes in different countries.

So while you might be using it in a consistent way in your region, database
users who are looking at the whole globe will have trouble interpreting
what it means.

That's why it would be better to propose a new, different tag to map open
areas of unvegetated land in villages and towns.
