[OSM-talk] Use policies update

All three OSM usage policies (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Acceptable_Use_Policy ) have been
updated to include a section pointing out that use of these services is
subject to our Privacy Policy
(http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy ) see for example
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim_usage_policy#Privacy While
use of the services was naturally already subject to the policy, adding
the section makes it easier for service users to find the document.

Further I've added an recommendation to the "Tile usage policy" (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy ) to include a
suitable link to the "fixthemap" page.

Both changes do not conflict with the current discussion on how the
usage policies should evolve
https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/113 but that
discussion prompted me to get the above changes off my todo list at last.
