crossing=marked as a solo sub-tag should also be verified

I've found that not only location, but editor can affect the quality of 
aerial imagery. I find it frustrating Bing is displayed at the same high 
zoom levels as others in Potlatch.

General:
I've updated crossing=zebra to crossing=uncontrolled where 
crossing_ref=zebra exists (OP+JOSM, 220 objects). I used uncontrolled as 
it's much more popular than 'marked'
