StopTime dependent bike allowance

[hbruch]

Currently, GTFS supports bike_allowed as attribute for trips.

However, very often, bike allowance is either time-dependent (e.g. disallowed on workdays between 6am and 8:30am) or stop-dependent (e.g. boarding only allowed at first stop, unboarding only at the last).

I'd like to suggest to extend StopTimes.txt by two new attributes "bikePickupType" and "bikeDropoffType", with the following values:

For bikePickupType:

NO_BIKES_PICKUP_INFORMATION = 0
BIKES_PICKUP_ALLOWED = 1
NO_BIKES_PICKUP = 2 

For bikeDropoffType:

NO_BIKES_DROPOFF_INFORMATION = 0
BIKES_DROPOFF_POSSIBLE = 1
NO_BIKES_DROPOFF = 2
BIKES_DROPOFF_MANDATORY = 3

If this is a need felt by others as well, I'd prepare a PR to discuss this further. If there are already ongoing efforts I'm not aware of, please let me know.
