[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] Add a readme for contributors (#376)

[Kevin Kreiser]

> +Parts of the codebase still clearly show their C origin and could use rewriting
> +in modern C++, making use of data structures in the standard library.
> +
> +## Versioning
> +
> +Osm2pgsql uses a X.Y.Z version number, where Y tells you if you are on a stable
> +or development series. Like the Linux Kernel, even numbers are stable and 
> +development versions are odd.
> +
> +Old branches and versions are not generally maintained.
> +
> +## Code style
> +
> +The current codebase is a mix of styles, but new code should be written in the 
> +[K&R 1TBS style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Variant:_1TBS) with
> +4 spaces indentation. Tabs should never be used in the C++ cope.
