[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add social sharing functionality (PR #4985)

[Andy Allan]

> anonymous users

I think you mean users who are not logged in - "anonymous users" is the term we use for accounts with `user.data_public == false`. They are quite rare now since [they haven't been permitted for a long time](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Anonymous_edits).

As for preferences, I'm happy keeping most preferences available for only logged in users, since account creation is free and we aim to serve our mappers (who by definition have accounts) more than just casual visitors. Storing preferences in cookies does have drawbacks (like cross-device consistency, automatic cookie expiry etc) so it's not my first choice in general.
