[openstreetmap-website] Introduce Geo URI to Share panel, take 2. (#994)

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

adding `z=20` to a geo: URI is definitely part of the standard [rfc5870].  A geo: URI includes a full query string, I don't think there are any restrictions on the key/values allowed in a geo: URI's query string (except for the standard URI restrictions, of course). But it does look like the standard separator for the query string has recently become `;` rather than `?`, according to the RFC. The older [draft RFC][draftrfc] shows using `?` .  Android's geo: support is based on the draft RFC: https://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/app-intents.html

FYI, I've been doing work on supporting geo: URIs in lots of Android apps, including Osmand, K-9, ChatSecure, etc.
