Highway=give_way

Not yet the default syntax for tagging direction of highway=give_way, is give_way:direction=forward|backward, see wiki.
Mainly Polish, Danish, Dutch, Belgian and London mappers use the more descriptive give_way:direction instead of just direction.
For small EU bbox the Mai 2025 overpass count = 1.8K

Highway=stop

Idem for tagging direction of highway=stop, see wiki.
stop:direction=forward and stop:direction=backward is used in The Netherlands, Belgium and less frequent in France, Portugal, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Czechia, Slovakia, London and Danmark.
For large EU bbox the Mai 2025 overpass count = 0.2K

Related to PR #458

This would profile developers that factor in direction of give_way and stop nodes, to give more accurate penalty results.

Note: for highway=traffic_signals the traffic_signals:direction notation is already standard practice for nodes, according to the wiki.
