[talk-au] Pharmacy/chemist tagging

[Andrew Harvey]

I agree with David's comment at
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/pull/2597#issuecomment-492617726

For almost all retail outlets, they match the wiki descriptions for both
amenity=pharmacy and shop=chemist, so both tags should be used on the same
node/way (it's all one on the ground feature, so should only have one
object in OSM), ie.

amenity=pharmacy
shop=chemist
name=Amcal
brand=Amcal

The same would normally apply for all those other names mentioned.

I further agree with David, that in-hospital pharmacies may not have the
shop=chemist part (per OSM wiki) so could only have amenity=pharmacy, but
since many of these in-hospital pharmacies wouldn't be open to the public,
so would be access=private.
