[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Forcing English language error response for /api/0.6/user/details (#2227)

[mmd]

/api/0.6/user/details is one of the very few API calls to return localized error messages. While this is good to convene some message to a mapper, in case they have been blocked, it's more difficult for editing applications like JOSM to figure out what happened.

Here's the code in question:

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/controllers/api_controller.rb#L71-L84

We were wondering if it would be feasible to always include an English language text in the HTTP header field "Error", and show a localized version the HTTP body, as is today.  Would that be a reasonable thing to do?
