[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add the ability to rate limit edits (PR #4319)

[zstadler]

It is very unlikely that a new user will do their edits with JOSM.
The [above example](https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/144010949) is the user's 50'th edit.
In his first hour of OSM editing he created about 700 elements. That was also for an hotosm project.

Like @matkoniecz,, I would like to see a real-world new user that hits the current rate limit.
Like @HarelM, I'd rather limit the rate of contribution for new users than have veteran mappers leave OSM. Not to mention the toll on the DWG members and the community members that fights vandalism.

Personally, I've spent more than 3 weeks of work in reverting the latest vandalism in Israel as well as recovering from well-meaning attempts to re-map the affected areas. I did that knowing this PR is in the works.
