[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql] Geography datatype (Discussion #2152)

[Jakob Miksch]

PostGIS has a [`Geography`](https://postgis.net/docs/geography.html) datatype. This is useful to store worldwide POI data and perform proximity analysis using [`ST_DWithin`](https://postgis.net/docs/ST_DWithin.html). 
However, ( to my knowledge), osm2pgsql currently does not support importing the OSM geometry to a `Geography` column. Only these types seem to be allowed: ST_DWithin
Would it be of interest for osm2pgsql to be able to create `Geography` columns? What do you think about this?
