Street numbering interpolation ways flagged as "end near other way/node" by validator

[MCPicoli]

When drawing street numbering interpolation ways, the validator flags most of them as with "Way end near other way".

Example:

• Download data at ​http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-23.58612/-46.60539
• Run the validation with default settings

Obviously, the end nodes of these ways shouldn't be checked against other ways, because:

• They are naturally very near the street corners (specially with narrow sidewalks) - I am aware that the default distance (validator.UnconnectedWays.node_way_distance) may be changed, but while this does solve this particular problem, creates another as highways that would be flagged with the default distance wouldn't if this distance was changed;
• They do not have a physical representation as a way.

What I suggest as a fix is simply ignore the proximity check between the end nodes of the numbering interpolation ways that do not have a "highway=*" tag, as a new rule for the validation.
