[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Provide link to RapiD in edit drop down menu (#2708)

[Frederik Ramm]

Random recent post from the imports mailing list:

"Since RapID is used as an editor in OSM and the buildings were directly available via RapID, our team mistakenly assumed that no additional documentation would be needed to kick-start the process. During the implementation of the second workflow, the DWG flagged the exercise and informed our team that adding AI-generated building footprints to OSM is considered an import and, because no discussions were facilitated about the import through the mailing list, this exercise was in violation of the import guidelines"

if RapID were added as an "official" editor, we would have to make sure that only those external data sets for which the import process has been cleared are available in it, to avoid all-too-frequent misunderstandings like the above. This is probably not too difficult, but we'd have to maintain a fork of RapID where we control what is offered, rather than the developers of RapID who might have their very own perspective on OSM community standards.
