[talk-au] Suspicious or disallowed sources

[Adam Horan]

I have dropped a changeset comment already, and will wait a bit longer. I
don't see that the user is making other changes currently.

There's too much detail in the shape for it to be sourced from a vague
ground survey, and for the sports tracks in this changeset there is nothing
in the available iD imagery.

To be honest it was the direct reference to 'nearmap' as a source in
something drawn ~1 month ago that got me started on this.
