[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Support Open Graph protocol (#2965)

>  we know that these services are very popular and will be used at large scale

I wasn't asking for a wide-open public static maps service. It could either be entirely internal to this codebase, or run separately and password protected so that only the production servers have access. The images produced would be fixed size thumbnails, and are unlikely to be in widespread demand.

So the scaling needs is only at a similar scale to what is already in place for serving the same number of requests for the logo. A few gigs of RAM will be enough to cache the most popular 99% of the generated images, and the billions of unique ones required for every other entity page can be generated on the fly for probably a fraction of the CPU involved in putting together the rest of the page.
