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

[SomeoneElseOSM]

To address some of the points above:

Where new users map their first changesets very quickly, and especially when they do so in JOSM, there is a clear correlation with poor-quality editing.  A significant subset of DWG tickets created about new users have simply been about poor editing quality, and our advice is often "slow down, and make smaller but better quality edits".  This has been more noticeable since the recent waves of vandalism where large number of objects were edited (or deleted) in a short period of time - we (the DWG) have been using various means to detect this, and in a few cases have found ourselves dealing with poor quality new editors who just needed to be encouraged to slow down a bit.

To address @zstadler's point above - these are "real-world new users that hit the current rate limit", but even though they're not mapping in bad faith, it still makes sense for them to be asked to slow down a bit.  As an example from the changeset linked above, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1223453025 has been mapped as "perfectly circular" with 30 nodes; the imagery suggests perhaps something closer to a hexagon.
