Replace surface=earth by surface=dirt in validator

[mkoniecz]

example: ​https://api.openstreetmap.org/way/161706249
it may be a good idea to limit it to objects with highway=* tag

I see ground is also mentioned? What's the status of this one?

[mkoniecz]

As I understand nuances of words - exact meaning of ground depends slightly on a location.

[mkoniecz]

Is there any chance that such validator rule (surface=earth -> surface=dirt) would be added? Such synonyms are not helpful for data consumers.
