Description, Motivation & Context

A lot of newly built supermarkets have self checkout lanes. Existing ones are also retrofitted with self checkout lanes, which replace part (or all in some cases) of the serviced lanes. It is helpful to know if a shop has self checkout, since it is almost always faster, especially when you need a few things.

  1. After you submit your PR, the system will create a preview and comment on your PR:

    🍱 Your pull request preview is ready.
    If this is your first contribution to this project, the preview will not happen right away but requires a click from one of the project members. We will do this ASAP.

  2. Once the preview is ready, use it to test your changes.

  3. Now copy the snippet below into a new comment and fill out the blanks.

  4. Now your PR is ready to be reviewed.

## Test-Documentation

### Preview links & Sidebar Screenshots

<!-- Use the preview to find examples, select the feature in question and **copy this link here**.
     Find examples of nodes/areas. Find examples with a lot of tags or very few tags. – Whatever helps to test this thoroughly.
     Add relevant **screenshots** of the sidebar of those examples. -->

<!-- FYI: What we will check:
     - Is the [icon](https://github.com/ideditor/schema-builder/blob/main/ICONS.md) well chosen.
     - Are the fields well-structured and have good labels.
     - Do the dropdowns (etc.) work well and show helpful data. -->

### Search

<!-- **Test the search** of your preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     - Test the preset name as search terms.
     - Also test the preset terms and aliases as search terms (if present). -->

### Info-`i`

<!-- **Test the info-i** for your fields and preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     The info needs to help mappers understand the preset and when to use it.
     [Learn more…](https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#info-i)
 -->

### Wording

- [x] American English
- [X] `name`, `aliases` (if present) use Title Case
- [N/A] `terms` (if present) use lower case, sorted A-Z

I wonder if we should move this to the more fields due to the low usage. Then again that is something that most supermarkets will get at some point.

We could also consider adding it to hardware stores. At least in Germany. (Possibly in a separate PR)

Given that it is something with quite low usefulness as far as data goes and will appear in basically any supermarket (at least in countries with higher labour costs) I support moving to showing it only if tagged already.

I think this PR is slightly better than #1353 as for many shop types, self-checkout is so rare that it does not make sense to include it even as a moreFields field. So, let's start with supermarkets. If needed, we can later add it to more particular shop types.
