[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] suppress creating accounts by bots/scripts (#1083)

[CloCkWeRX]

One area this manifests in is via the diary feature (and corresponding RSS feeds), and we now have the default of review-my-changesets set for newer accounts.

Could we optionally use a (potentially proprietary) captcha on a new diary post; when:
 * There are no reviewed changesets associated with the account
 * And or an editor hasn't got the cookie/whatever mechanism ID uses to prompt new editors with the tutorial present

Options such as https://github.com/desirepath41/visualCaptcha do exist now; even if they aren't maintained at the moment.

With very specific criteria, we could avoid accidentally adding barriers for new editors; and only mildly inconvenience people who jump into editing via JOSM or other editors.
