This changes a lot of radicals after checking against Kanjidic. Where Kanjidic was different from KanjiVG, I also looked at Wiktionary and other sources. Five differences seemed to be errors in Kanjidic, which I've reported. The rest I've changed here. There are still a few discrepancies left.

Also change original field on top element to be correct two boxes
The correct Kangxi radical for 0820a is 臼
This makes sure that the tradit radical has an element associated with
it.
In the cases where no variant Nelson radical exists, change the value
of kvg:radical to "general" from "tradit". The cases where a variant
Nelson radical exists are unaltered.
The five files in this commit all have a general radical in the
correct place plus a "nelson" radical in somewhere very unlikely, but
which uses the same original element as the general radical. Although
I don't have a copy of Nelson to check against, I'm fairly certain
these are errors, since Nelson was at least consistent.
This adds missing cases of nelson or tradit to the kvg:radical field
on the appropriate elements.

Jim Breen got back to me to say that Kanjidic uses the radicals from a reference called the JIS 漢字辞典 so I have to go and check that from the library or something.
