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

[Guillaume Rischard]

> I was thinking there was an API method that could be used but there isn't one that does the lookup by name.

There is a single one. In [the civicrm username check extension](https://github.com/grischard/org.openstreetmap.username/blob/9d67583bd3e0342a9770cde48f23586f707012ee/username.php#L61) I check `https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changesets?time=9999-01-01&display_name=TomH` or `https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changesets?time=9999-01-01&display_name=GhostofTomH` for 404.
