1. stop rendering shop=yes …

   fixes gravitystorm#3697
   
   Originally only shop with their own icons were rendered.
   
   Later popular shop values were also rendered - as dots without icons. This was deliberate decision to not render tags with mistakes like shop=supermarkte
   
   Since gravitystorm#2415 all shop values except 'no', 'vacant', 'closed', 'disused', 'empty' are rendered.
   
   Given that any, even never used shop value is rendered and `shop=yes` is unreasonably popular it is desirable to encourage more specific shop tagging.
   
   Dropping `shop=yes` may encourage using some new shop values and in some cases people will mistakenly create new tags duplicating existing ones,
   but standard shop types are still encouraged by using icons.
   
   shop tag currently has long tail of unusual shop types (with most tagged correctly - for example `shop=maps`, some shop like this really exist),
   so data consumers need anyway some strategy for handling rare shop types.
   
   `shop=yes` is currenly reported as a tagging mistake by decent validators (for example JOSM and Osmose).
   
   Note that this is not deprecation of a tag but stopping to render a deprecated tag.
   This tag was never considered as a sufficient for tagging shop type
