[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add "No, don't load the data" choice (#1766)

> I don't know what you mean about blocking right click?

The map `div` intercepts the right-click, meaning the usual browser-provided right-click menu isn't available. This was quite useful for a very small number of us who wanted a convenient way to get the tile coordinates.

> Obviously we could move it but it doesn't solve the basic problem of it being unusable at anything less than about zoom 22 or so

I was just trying to suggest a way we could preserve the current/old behaviour for the small number of us who find it useful, while the main site moves on to remove these features for the vast majority who don't. Since some of us find them useful, I though it would be nice if we could keep them around somewhere out of the way. Since neither require server-side support, we could always write our own local versions, although it would be less duplication of effort if we shared it somewhere central. And probably not onerous to host a static bunch of HTML and Javascript.
