[Tagging] River crossing grade

[Mateusz Konieczny]

numeric tracktype scale was a mistake, this is a new tag and repeating
this can be avoided

> Particularly on hiking trails, the intersection of a highway=footway or highway=path and a waterway=* can be defined as either:
>
> - A bridge bridge=yes which allows you to walk over the watercourse.
> - A culvert tunnel=culvert which takes the water through a tunnel underneath the walking path.
> - Stepping stones ford=stepping_stones which allow you to walk through the watercourse without usually getting wet (unless the water level is higher than the stepping stones, this tag doesn't imply you'll always be able to get across)
> - A generic stream/river crossing ford=yes where your path passes through the watercourse.
> In the last case of ford=yes it can be helpful to describe the usual condition of that stream/river crossing to help give consumers an idea of what they can generally expect.
>
> Mindful that conditions can change depending on upstream rainfall, or it could vary seasonally, but for places where it's usually consistent, this proposal proposes tagging it.

> 0. creek/stream crossing where generally the creekbed is dry and you won't get wet.
> 1: creek/stream crossing where generally the water level is so low that you won't have water ingress in your shoes
> 2: creek/stream crossing where your body will stay dry but you'll want to take your shoes off if you prefer to keep them dry
> 3: river crossing where your body will get wet, may have a rope to help you cross, but you can wade through the water and won't usually need to swim
> 4: river crossing where you'll need to swim across
