purge related to wheelchair=unknown

Proposal	delete toilets:wheelchair=unknown and wheelchair=unknown
Rationale	without a toilets:wheelchair or wheelchair tag, the presence of toilet accessible to wheelchairs or accessibility of the poi to wheelchairs is already unknown. After searching, it was obviously a bug on wheelpmap.org that added the unknown status when a user did not fill in all the fields. This bug seems fixed because I haven't seen a recent case. Some usecases are also due to user filling all field that their editor show.
Frequency	Once I hope. Regularly if needed
Areas affected	World but no world talk done. So this edit is for France only.

zebra

Proposal	change the tag crossing=zebra with multiple meanings in its lowest denominator crossing_ref=zebra to promote the most common unambiguous tags

sidewalk-none

Proposal	convert sidewalk=none into sidewalk=no
Rationale	due to a (fixed) StreetComplete bug and mimicry, the value no is the documented in the wiki and used by iD/Josm/SC. It is also consistent with osm's practice of using no as a negative value. it is also the most common before this AE
