Walking: to assist route planners (eg OSMAnd+) have changed to type "Path" (implies shared with others eg cyclists) and "Foot" = 'yes' to avoid doubt

Comment from GinaroZ
Why have you changed https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/303603653 to a path, as it is clearly a cycleway (part of NCN 7)?
And are you planning on changing every cycleway to path?

GinaroZ, greetings
I have walked much of NCR 7 from Lochwinnoch to Ayr. And encountered many other walkers and a handful of cyclists over that four days.
I did so at the suggestion of the promoters of The Whithorn Way from Saint Mungos to Whithorn.
It was and continues to be my understanding that, unless specifically marked as "Cycles Only" that these are "Shared Ways" to be used other than by motorised vehicles. And many of the usages before my changes explicitly included "Foot = yes".
In numerous section approaching Ayr it was quite clear that NCR 7 was also designated Ayr Coastal Way.
The name on NCR 7 continues and no relationships were changed.

PS: I also changed not a few sections where the description was "Footpath" and also had an NCR 7 relationship to "Path".
In other words the desire was to achieve consistency in first appearance for all readers / users.
