[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] primitive parser doesn't work with pipes (#49)

[pnorman]

``time bzcat belgium-latest.osm.bz2 | osm2pgsql -r libxml2 -d osm2pgsqltest -l -O null -`` takes 1m21s but ``time bzcat belgium-latest.osm.bz2 | osm2pgsql -r primitive -d osm2pgsqltest -l -O null -`` takes 0.2s, which is clearly absurd. It also only parses 30k nodes.

When removing -O null, the resulting database is under 1MB.

If I bunzip2 to disk and give it the file, primitive does work and takes 46s (-O null) to libxml2's 71s. The pbf takes about 7.25 seconds.

If we aren't maintaining the primitive parser, I'd suggest removing it. PBF is absurdly faster than either XML parser for where speed matters.
