[Tagging] Tagging of larger shop types

[Mateusz Konieczny]

I think that tagging shop on entire area is not really wrong.

But I would prefer node/area covering just shopping area, 
and keep parking, offices and warehousing area not visited by clients
outside it.

> Shop=garden_centre and shop=car are examples where the "shop" is often much larger than just one individual building. In both cases, these shops tend to have large outdoor areas where plants/cars are displayed for sale. They form an integral part of the shop - but are not part of a main building.
