[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add OpenLocationCode to OSM website (#1807)

[Joop Kiefte]

I created a tool https://whenwhere.cf to use them as a prototype / proof of concept for a simple hardware device for navigating with plus codes, and this is the exact tool used with a friend in Africa to map his village. Easy access to plus codes can make a huge difference. I also used plus codes recently with a pick up in Kiev. When I suggested a guy to use it with the taxi he waited for he said "I know, I already use that". They are way more used than you would suspect. I am now working on making it easier to use short codes too without overusing Nominatim, will probably add that to my olc-tools repository when done.

OsmAND, mapy.cz etc already support it -- it's definitely something that is being used with OSM already.

Well Vespucci supports it too, but that doesn't actually mean anybody uses it. If you have ever actually tried to use one, you know why.
