[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Vector Tiles on osm.org (#1875)

[Bryan Housel]

I've been reviewing the [Top 10 Tasks list](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks), and noticed that several of the issues reference **vector tiles** as a possible way forward.
* Localized Map Rendering - https://github.com/osmlab/osm-planning/issues/9
* Clickable POIs - https://github.com/osmlab/osm-planning/issues/16

This is also something that pops up for discussion sometimes here in this repo (#1672 #1623 #1316)

Let's start a discussion about what it would look like to add a vector tile option to openstreetmap.org! Even if it's just a trial or staged rollout available only in some areas, I think it would be great to explore vector tiles as a path forward on some of these issues.  

I think we all agree that if something is on the Top 10 Tasks list, it's important to enough to people that it's worth doing.  It's time!  ✨
