[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Provide an endpoint to link users by their id (Issue #3750)

[Martin Fischer]

It should be possible to create reliable links to user profiles that do not break when they change their display name.

For example https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_by_id/16106660 would simply return a 302 temporary HTTP redirect to https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/push-f. In the case that no user by the given id exists the route would just return a 404.

The use case is that third-party services want to create reliable links to OpenStreetMap users.

See #482 for a related discussion.
