Closes #8966, Closes #9526

This PR considers other name tags when labelling features in the UI and on the map.

These tags are considered: alt_name, official_name, loc_name, loc_ref, unsigned_ref, seamark:name, sector:name, addr:housename, lock_name and in some cases distance and railway:position (see #9526)

#8707 and #8440 turned out to be controversial but I can't think of any reason why this change would be unwelcome (?)

Should this be limited to points? The railway:position documentation says this key can be used on any kind of feature, but it seems to be extremely rare on ways and relations, and all of the presets that use the Milestone Position field are for nodes only.

sure, we could limit it to points, but also keep in mind that most of the geometry rules in this array have no effect, because of these 3 wildcard entries:
