Identify rivers that ends on a stream #52

The correct way is that waterway=stream ends on waterway=river but not the opposite.

It will be interesting to have a section for them.

The rule I always heard is “if you can jump over it, then it's a =stream, otherwise it's =river”. It's possible for a river to get narrower until it's a stream. So I don't think this is always a mapping mistake.

However I think it would be useful to highlight this cases, to allow mappers to find mistakes. I have an idea how to do it.
