[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] Enhance with a datamodel option, using JSONB (#533)

[Paul Norman]

Generally you should **not** be querying the slim tables (nodes, ways, and rels). You cannot depend on them existing, as they depend on import settings and are  internal to osm2pgsql and not structured to be easy for other applications to query.

We'd actually like to drop them all for something similar to flat-nodes.

I don't see that JSONB offers any operators that would be useful that hstore doesn't.
