[openstreetmap-website] Move copyright link to attribution control (#423)

There's an argument to be made both ways. jfirebaugh has a point about the "canonical example" - we've had people in the past acting surprised about having to add attribution, saying "but OSM itself doesn't have it". But tomhughes has a point about "reducing prominence". Nobody looks at the small print in the corner of a map - for us, the license is an essential part of what we're doing, not some footnote "btw we got our map from provider X".

Suggestion:
* add canonical attribution like jfirebaugh suggested
* do not remove it from the sidebar though
* if the "Help" headline doesn't work for what's below it, change the headline and not the content below it ;)
