[Tile-serving] [openstreetmap/osm2pgsql] Flex config (#1496)

[Jochen Topf]

There is only one reason to stay with hstore: "we have always done it this way". Everything else points to json: better support in PostgreSQL, builtin (no "CREATE EXTENSION" needed), "industry standard", easier to understand for new users. I believe the advantages are large enough to make this the new standard. In a few years, nobody will even remember "the old ways" of doing things. But, its only in config files, so everybody can make the choice if and when to switch as they see fit. But default configs and the documentation should point to whatever is currently considered best and recommended usw.
