[Talk-us] Drop the tiger:reviewed tag from roads

The tag, tiger:reviewed that is left over from the 2006/7 import of TIGER roads has lost any meaning. For example, look at 196th Avenue Southwest [1] in Thurston County WA. It's on version 6 yet still has tiger:reviewed=no. Note I picked this street at random from a overpass query [2]. I see this
