[mkgmap-dev] Manage drive-on-left/drive-on-right in resources\LocatorConfig.xml

Hi Gerd,

I have assumed, that option --check-roundabout gets a new algorithm, the 
one that you have described. I would prefer that use of "dol/dor" 
counting was controlled by user and option --check-roundabouts looks 
prefect for this purpose.

I think that flags in IMG should be consistent, the one you have 
mentioned in NOD and a flag in TRE. So any decision about 
drive-on-left/right should be taken once and should force setting of 
both flags.

My idea is that user can select following processing:

- Automatic detection of left/right by using --check-roundabout with 
options --drive-on-left/right as a fallback.

- Forced setting with option --drive-on-left/right alone.

- Default setting when no options are used. Defaults could be taken from 
LocatorConfig.xml or simply set as drive-on-right (hope this is more 
common).

This description also defines priority of processing, with "dol/dor" 
counting as a first choice, but only if user set explicit option.
