[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql] Refuse to import data when there is an osm2pgsql_properties table (PR #2085)

[mboeringa]

@joto, I am not sure if this is the right move. This actually kind of reverts an earlier fix.

Yes, with the increasing complexity of osm2pgsql, it will inevitably be easier to clobber things up. But I am afraid with all the new stuff, including the new "Themepark" I saw announced, this is virtually unavoidable. We're _**way**_ past the point of osm2pgsql being a tool you can just "hit and run" (if it ever was with amount of command line options).

(Desirable) Flexibility comes at a price...

If you do intend to change this, I second @rustprooflabs 's request for some `--force` option. I also think some strong recommendation to properly script stuff to avoid mayhem might be in order... Personally, I can afford to loose stuff because I run a test instance only, but that likely will not be the case for the majority of users...
