[Tile-serving] [openstreetmap/osm2pgsql] Add an option to skip table creation in flex output (#1493)

[Nikolai Lebedev]

As an important addition, table partitioning can't be set up before first import either. 
And if your data is big enough it's quite painful to partition after it's already written to the DB in one piece.

In reality osm2pgsql already has a similar flag (which is `append` mode). If you break tables in the db after initial import, append will fail - and that's an expected behaviour. Same goes to appending to a clear (or truncated) table. You don't really need initial import in `create` mode if everything (all used functions and tables) is created as needed in the db.
