[openstreetmap-website] Method to exit edit mode is unintuitive (#737)

[daganzdaanda]

I've noticed this, too. I think when I tried iD for the first time, I closed my browser tab or used the "back" button because I did not think of the logo... Now I know better, but this is still strange in terms of usability. 

For me, iD feels like a program in a OSM-window. So I would look for an exit-button or X or some kind of option in a menu of iD. Most intuitive would be a button on the top right, but inside the iD window. It could be an X on a rounded rectangle.

If it has to be done outside of iD, maybe changing the name of the "edit" tab to "exit" would be another idea? 
Adding an x in the same place as with the sidebars would also be sensible. But this would need empty space to the left of it (and maybe to the bottom), so iD would lose useful screen real estate.
