Add rendering for areas tagged waterway=dam

Mapnik does not appear to render areas tagged as waterway=dam, although it does render on ways. This means smaller dams show up, but larger more detailed mapping does not. The Wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Dam suggests a rendering of black outline with grey hatching, suggesting this might be a regression from a previous implementation

Similar to ticket #1985 but not a duplicate

Osmarender shows waterway=dam on an area as a thick black line e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.90788&lon=-4.72763&zoom=17&layers=O

The "mapnik" component in trac is for the old XML-based openstreetmap.xml stylesheets which are not deployed on OpenStreetMap.org. Since June the default style on OpenStreetMap.org has been openstreetmap-carto, which has its own issue tracker at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue as wontfix to avoid people being confused by it and commenting on it instead of somewhere where it will effect the rendering on osm.org. Closing it doesn't mean the issue won't be fixed in openstreetmap-carto, just that this ticket is against old unmaintained software that has been replaced and this ticket has zero chance of being resolved.

There is an openstreetmap-carto ticket requesting a distinction between unpaved and paved surfaces at openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto#227, but please read the roadmap at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto#roadmap to understand what issues are an immediate priority.
