[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add some javascript to check dynamically if the username is already taken (PR #4402)

[Pieter Vander Vennet]

Hi,

I peeked over the shoulder of a friend who tried to sign up for openstreetmap. He wanted to take his given name as display name, which was already taken. When he tried some variations of his (very common) given name as well, those were taken too.

It would help if there was some more immediate feedback for this, so I've thrown in a bit of javascript into `new.html.erb` which checks 'on the go' if the name is taken or not:
