[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add OpenLocationCode to OSM website (#1807)

[Bjoern]

I’d still love to see OLC-enabled search. I understand people’s concerns. However, in our projects we are usng OLC to make a difference to people of all ages in otherwise disadvantaged regions; it’s painful for me to see the resistance to a technology that’s open and helpful. While it’s originated from an employee at google (after careful review of existing systems, see OLC docs), it doesn’t seem to be something that’s google branded. If it were proprietary or hard to implement or likely to change over and over, sure, that’s a different matter.  This is simple, open and helpful; it offers an additional way to access OSM and doesn’t take anything away from how others may want to use OSM. 

Given that a brach with OLC already exists, could the case for OLC inclusion be revisited?
