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

[Martijn van Exel]

I was thinking about this some more. I do still actually use the visual cue (yellow) in JOSM to see which roads I want to double-check when editing in an area. I don't know if this is still enabled in JOSM by default but it's available as one of the default paint styles.
