[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add show user block api endpoint (PR #4240)

[Anton Khorev]

The web interface prefers to work with usernames while the api prefers user ids. For example you need a user id for [user details](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user:_GET_/api/0.6/user/#id). When you know a username and want to get the corresponding id through the api, you typically do a changeset search by the username and get the id from the search results. It's only difficult to do if the user has no contributions, but then, if it's a genuine user and not a pre-blocked vandal account, there has to be a problem with their contributions and changesets (or notes) searchable by the username exist.
