[Talk-br] highway=living_street or residental in Brazilian cities?

[Aun Johnsen]

I myself know only about 2 examples that can be classified as living_street, that is two residential streets classified as "calcadão" in the data source. That is a residential street where cars don't have access. In my opinion, if cars have access without any specific signs identifying as such, tag as residential.
