[Talk-GB] Parcel Post-boxes (again): national roll-out?

[SK53]

In August 2018 we had a brief discussion about Royal Mail trialling parcel
post-boxes, see thread
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2018-August/021801.html>.

Yesterday I noticed that one of the metered pillar boxes on Wheeler Gate in
Nottingham has been converted to this form
<https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6331145>, so I presume they are being
rolled out nationally.

Relevant changes:

   - The reference is now suffiixed with a 'P' NG1 33P instead of NG1 33.
   - "Parcel Postbox" painted on two sides
   - Instructions about pre-paying parcel post under aperture and on two
   adjacent sides

I've never been entirely happy with post_box:type which generally describes
form also describing function as in post_box:type=meter, and this change
sort of highlights the problems. Should we use post_box:type=meter;parcel
or post_box:type=parcel or a different tag altogether.

At least some of the earlier ones have been updated.
