[Tagging] Free of charge segments of formally paid road

[Peter Elderson]

I think the logic for toll mapping is to tag toll=yes only on the segments
where traffic can not leave the road without passing the toll barrier.
The other segments, just don't tag toll.
toll=no is the default so toll=no does not add any information.
