[Talk-us] Drop the tiger:reviewed tag from roads

[Martijn van Exel]

I believe folks still use it in places to indicate that no-one has
reviewed it on the ground, but I cannot find the thread(s) where that
was brought up.
I think a mechanical removal may be a bit overzealous, even though I
personally wouldn't shed a tear. As long as there is at least one tag
left that would indicate TIGER as the original source, so we can
continue to detect 'unmodified TIGER' roads.--
