opening_hours for amenity=toilets #6371

Description

@paulklie

Currently we recheck the signing of opening times for toilets:

or amenity ~ recycling|toilets|bicycle_rental|charging_station or leisure = park or barrier

However we never let the user add opening_hours. I believe this to be highly useful information.

My primary concern here is that it might be spammy, with alot of "24/7"s. In my area the vast majority are open 24/7. However statistics do not reflect this:
Currently 20019 (4.23%) toilets have an opening time added.
Of these 8813 (1.86%) are open 24/7.

I think we can mitigate this issue anyway:

Currently around 48% of toilets are tagged as pitlatrines, these are almost always open 24/7, with almost all of the exceptions being seasonal.

If we filter for only "toilets:disposal"="flush" we decrease the percentage of always open toilets to 39.1%
If we filter for only fee=yes we get around 20.1%. However this excludes around 85% of toilets that are free from getting this useful information. By limiting this quest to "flush" toilets it is less spammy but still asked for a large proportion of toilets, while also being less seasonal.

In a future quest proposal I will suggest adding a "What type of toilet is this" Quest that will hopefull add even more "flush" toilets to the database.
