[Tile-serving] [openstreetmap/osm2pgsql] Options to import for manual geocoding (#688)

[Paul Norman]

The pgsql backend is intended for rendering. If you want to do geocoding with it you'll need to change the [.style](https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/blob/master/default.style) file you're using to get different tags in. Lua might be helpful here to normalize names (e.g. road contractions)

You can also use the gazetteer backend, which is why nominatim uses. There is little support on its schema.

A third option is to do the import with nominatim but then query the tables manually.
