[Tagging] Docks - Change to use the natural/water schema?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Only some types of docks contain water. A dry dock is usually dry, a
floating dock is also not a water feature .

>From the wiki page:


   - dock <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dock>=tidal
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:dock%3Dtidal> - For a tidal
   dock, where the dock holds a stable water level in a basin, in order to
   make loading and offloading of ships easier, or to have a safe harbour in
   areas with a large tidal difference.
   - dock <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dock>=drydock
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:dock%3Ddrydock> - Usually a
   maintenance dock where ships can enter to do inspections and maintenance on
   the wet surface of the hull.
   - dock <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dock>=floating
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:dock%3Dfloating> - Floating
   docks are usually a large floating structure with the purpose to lift a
   vessel out of the water for maintenance or inspections of the wet surface
   of the hull
