[Talk-GB] Tagging canal staircase locks

[Edward Bainton]

Fort Augustus Flight on the Caledonian Canal is also a staircase (pure
staircase afaik; no passing place).

I looked at the wiki. How about:

waterway=canal
lock=yes
lock:type=staircase_lock
[Other values: =tide_lock, etc? Pound lock assumed]
lock_number=1/5
lock_name:flight=Fort Augustus Flight
