"area" is not supported in validator asserts

[Dakon]

I can use "area" in a selector in a validator, but if I write something liks

assertMatch: "area railway=station";

This will fail. Worse, I get a backtrace, but no notice which line caused the error:

WARNING: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expecting n/node/w/way/r/relation, but got area

In 8257/josm:

fix #11370 - "area" is not supported in validator asserts

[Don-vip]

Why did you remove the unit test?

[simon04]

I hoved it to the canonical class/file OsmUtilsTest …

[Don-vip]

Ok :)
