[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Blocked user cannot log on to community.osm.org (Issue #3522)

[mmd]

Following up on https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/my-user-is-blocked/1006/11

Once a user has been blocked, they can no longer log on to community.osm.org, because fetching user details using /api/0.6/user/details is being rejected by HTTP 403 "Your access to the API has been blocked. Please log-in to the web interface to find out more.”

app/controllers/api_controller.rb seems to be the relevant bit in the website code:

```ruby
    # have we identified the user?
    if current_user
      # check if the user has been banned
      user_block = current_user.blocks.active.take
      unless user_block.nil?
        set_locale
        if user_block.zero_hour?
          report_error t("application.setup_user_auth.blocked_zero_hour"), :forbidden
        else
          report_error t("application.setup_user_auth.blocked"), :forbidden
        end
      end
```
