[mkgmap-dev] use of --mdr7-del can break address search/street search

Hi Gerd

I'm trying understand all this, so maybe what I'm trying to say here is
rubbish.

How is it that --split-name-index didn't also break Find > Street
select list.

If it is required that Mdr7 index entries refer to a label, then,
maybe, can have multiple index entries to the same label with different
starting positions, indicated by [out]NameOffset. These shouldn't be
deduped against apparently the same partial name from elsewhere.
It avoids the need for the tile builder to adjusting one of the 4
labels. A disadvantage is that each duplicate entry runs to the end of
the label.

I don't understand what the Mdr7 repeat flag is supposed to indicate.
Also, if MDR7_HAS_STRING, does the offset work in this
