Changing an unmarked crossing to a marked crossing doesn't update the crossing:markings tag to match

How to reproduce the issue?

Select either a crossing=unmarked node or way, and change it to a marked crossing via the preset search in the sidebar.

This will result in a crossing with the following conflicting tags:

crossing=uncontrolled crossing:markings=no

crossing:markings=yes would match with the standard iD preset for this crossing type.

Tricky… the current workflow when changing a preset is programmed to keep a tag value if the new preset has a field for the corresponding tag key (e.g. when changing a building to a hospital). This case is different because the tag is essentially duplicating the preset's main tag. Unfortunately, the tagging schema does currently not allow to properly distinguish between the two cases.

It would certainly be possible to hard-code this specific case in iD, although it's not a good solution in the long term.
