Positive rendering of designated footpaths

Description

OsmAnd (with a pedestrian profile and "More details" and "Show access restrictions and toll") will render access=private as pink dots along the way. And since #14294, that doesn't trigger on access=private + foot=designated.

When in the pedestrian profile I'd like to see foot=designated/foot=yes get some positive rendering. The same for bicycle=designated/bicycle=yes in the bicycle profile.

Describe the solution you'd like

Green dots?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've had to recommend to a few friends use https://osm.cycle.travel/rights_of_way/{0}/{1}/{2}.png from https://osm.cycle.travel/rights_of_way.html as an overlay. But that's obviously not ideal.

In England, I notice that the National Trust (a major custodian of countryside and recently become active on OSM) are tagging important walking ways as: highway=footway access=no foot=designated designation=public_footpath

For example Way: Trough Gate (2817534)

So it seems even more important to reconsider how OsmAnd processes foot=designated. As far as I can tell from rendering_types.xml the above ways become indistinguishable from simply access=no. But the intention of the mapper is to say "access=yes" as far as being a footway is concerned! Even if rendering_types.xml simply converted foot=designated to foot=yes for highway=footway, this situation would be much improved.

Thanks for the great app, I hope this helps and sorry if I misunderstand anything!

This is still many complaints about rendering designated footpaths. https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/newbie-question-differentiate-prows-in-mapping-app/120470
