GoMap suggests deprecated/discouraged `crossing=` values without any information about their status

[burrscurr]

When editing a crossing, the second "Type" field shows various in-use crossing values:

However, many of those values are deprecated:

• crossing=pavement: deprecated, crossing:continuous should be used instead
• crossing=zebra: deprecated
• crossing=island: not officially deprecated, but its use is discouraged and only about 1k occurrences remain world-wide (down from a peak of ~55k)

I think it would be great if those values could be either hidden and/or marked as deprecated. I'm raising this issue since in Germany, a community-based effort of replacing crossing=island was made, and the new crossings popping up are mostly GoMap edits.

Arguably, given that the community has repeatedly stated its desire to move away from the top-level crossing key (except for crossing=informal, crossing=no) I wonder whether it would make sense to not offer a UI select option for crossing altogether, but I'm not sure whether that is something that would need to be changed in the iD presets.

crossing works for me, in general you can use any tags you like and the wiki page on deprecation emphasizes this as well. Just because a handful of people voted for deprecation does not mean people can’t use the tag any more

This value comes from TagInfo, so it's suggested simply because it's been used too frequently already.
I notice iD doesn't suggest crossing=pavement, but I can't figure out where the exclusion filter is coming from (filter code here). The value also doesn't show up in iD's deprecated tags list.

In any case I'm going to tweak my own filters to not whitelist tags with wiki entries, which should help a lot.
