[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Remove Geonames and geocoder.ca (PR #3886)

[Andy Allan]

> Ultimately this is a very small step towards replacing GeocoderController with client-side parsing of Nominatim responses, which would make them easier to use in other contexts

On this topic, I'm not in favour. Moving more things to our home-grown javascript isn't an approach that I support. In particular, we end up creating own own (poor) html templating approaches, a client-side translation system, and this just duplicates what we already have serverside. My preferred approach for these things is to supply the client with "[html over the wire](https://hotwired.dev/)", use rails views to construct the html, and so on.
