[Talk-GB] Types of Kissing Gates

Whilst we tag different types of stiles, I'm not aware that we
differentiate different kinds of kissing gates.

Yesterday visiting Clumber Park to participate in a National Trust path
mapping briefing we saw three distinct kinds, to which I've added a fourth:


   1.  A traditional wooden kissing gate with a triangular cross-section.
   Generally now replaced by 2.
   2. A metal kissing gate with a circular cross-section
   3.  As for 2, but substantially larger, with the gate part able to be
   opened entirely with a RADAR key for wheelchair access (including, I think,
   powered ones).
   4.  A large wooden one with the central gate being of the size of a
   traditional farm gate, locking into a latch at either end of it's swing.
   (Probably really need to find a picture)

Obviously we can use material and wheelchair tags to capture some of these
differences, but it might be worth having a kissing_gate tag to separate
them more clearly.

Any thoughts?
