[OSM-talk] Proposed bot edit: remove "surface=no data" and other useless surface values

[琉璃百合]

Agree with ：

surface=surface
surface=Maxar surface=a
surface=*

because those tags are rediculous and can't give anything useful for later mapper. But "no data" may means the mapper failed to armchair mapping and need a on the ground servey, a "unclassified" surface may means the road situation is complex and can't match typical value.

So I only support those 4 kind of truly useless values.
