[Tagging] oneway bike lanes and tracks

[Mateusz Konieczny]

For cycleway tracks, tagged as property of road (cycleway=track and cycleway:left=track,
cycleway:right=track, cycleway:both=track) I would default (unless tagged otherwise) to
be no oneway rectrictions.

The legal differences can be important. This also create problems with Street Complete when users play that game in jurisdictions they don't know.
