fall under that key.

Updated and clarified the split of civic into 3 separate keys - civic_admin,
civic_service, and civic_safety. Also discussed judicial and penal.
civic_safety and penal are interesting, because there is no landuse for police
stations, fire stations, jails or prisons. Martin suggested splitting

If we are to split landuse=civic into civic_services and civic_admin, Then I
would like some feedback on the categories things fall into.
On the discussion page, I listed out some building types that would fall into
either one, and I would like opinions on removals or additions to the lists.
