[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Limit number of edits per user and day (#2342)

[zstadler]

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/4319 says the limit is
> increasing as the square of time elapsed 

I suggest to use the accumulated number of changes rather than the elapsed time as the measure by which the rate is increased

I can see a malicious account creating a benign changeset, waiting a week doing nothing suspicious, and then receiving a decent rate. 
Alternatively, providing an initial 10000 benign edits, working for a period of at least 10 hours,  in order to get a rate increase is much harder to achieve. On the other hand, I do not believe that would be unacceptable for new inexperienced users.
