[Tagging] Hitching posts as a form of parking

[Anne-Karoline Distel]

Can we agree on amenity=animal_hitch with all the mentioned animals in
the page description, excluding dogs, goats, pigs, cats, ferrets or
whatever else people take for a walk and might tie up outside a shop,
but don't ride on or use for transport of goods?

I'd rename amenity=horse_parking on the wiki then and adapt the wording
and change all my edits to the new tag.
