New function to classify cycle infrastructure based on level of segregation from foot traffic #4

As outlined on the OSM wiki, the key segregated refers to the level of separation between people traveling by foot and cycle: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:segregated

Rather than incorporating that into classify_cycle_infrastructure() it could be good to have a stand-alone function that returns a new column, e.g. called footway_segregation, mirroring language used in the OSM wiki.

Assigning you for now Joey, could be one to think about, I guess the priority is to check that the existing classification system works. Lots to think about here, thoughts welcome, cc @temospena who has contributed ideas to function names and ideas to generalise it.

Nice idea, a lot of segments (e.g. roads) will be NA, but it could still be a useful addition
