[Talk-ca] Ref tags in Ontario

[Kevin Farrugia]

(Sorry I have to re-email this Daniel - I thought I pressed reply all :P)

It was discussed in February in this thread:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2015-February/006404.html

Andrewpmk (almost entirely him) and I reversed all of the ON prefixes to
the 400-Series highways, but provincial highways and regional/county roads
still retain their prefixes.  Personally I don't think there should be any
prefix for rendering or navigation purposes, but I guess it depends on
whether you think county or regional road prefixes should be there for
navigation or rendering purposes.
