[openrailwaymap] [Talk-transit] Tag railway=station on ways and Wiki

The one point approach works for small stations with a single entrance, but
is a little misleading for large station complexes with multiple entry
points. We have quite a few of these in India, where both sides are equally
important like the New Delhi station:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/28.64233/77.22188

In such cases its fair to add the marker in the centroid of the area, and
not on any particular side. The station building would then help the user
decide which entry is most convenient.
