2020-11-05 Highway shield graphics - minor updates

Not a lot of progress today. I sketched some more ideas for using the flex back end of osm2pgsql to process concurrent routs in my notebook, and I puttered about verifying that the picayune changes that I made to the shield graphics worked.

The main change there is that the highway shields are back in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Alberta. (The Canadian mappers had made wholesale changes to the network tag to unify the processing across Canada, and the graphics generation needed to be updated to match.)

There are also a lot more numbered county roads in West Virginia.

And suburban Suffolk County, New York has its numbered county highways now.
