[mkgmap-dev] change handling of railway=abandoned

Hi all,

the default style has this rule:
# following really should be removed, but see: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2016q3/025104.html
railway=abandoned [0x0a road_class=0 road_speed=1 resolution 22] 

I agree with Ticker that it is not a good idea to make such a way routable. I would accept this when it has also a tag like bicycle=yes. I found a few ways like this, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/122268824 (I wonder why nobody added a highway tag since 2011)
BUT we should not assume access=yes for a railway=abandoned. So, what about this:
railway=abandoned {add access=no} [0x0a road_class=0 road_speed=1 resolution 22]
