[Talk-GB] Types of Kissing Gates

[SK53]

In general I try and map both (example here
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.81555/-0.85014> where the
footpath goes over a stile, but notion is the same), and if it's a public
footpath route the public footpath through the pedestrian gate. This is
definitely micro-mapping, so If I'm in a hurry I'll do a single gate which
is implicitly the pedestrian one.

It might be worth expanding discussion to types of gates too. Both gate &
gate:type are in use (and both have values of kissing!). I've very rarely
used gate=wicket_gate for the small <1m wide pedestrian gate, but standard
single & double farm gates are worth noting.
