[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Use CSS filter instead of dimming tiles (PR #5325)

[Tim Weber]

It seems pretty clear to me that this PR is not going to get merged. Instead, #5330 is being fast-tracked, because "making it a little less dim" is assumed to clearly fix everyone's problem with the changes.

Meanwhile, #2332 is being closed, with the suggestion being that people just make their suggestions again in new issues.

There are little to no comments being made in this PR by the maintainers as to what needs to change for it to get merged, or whether there's any chance of it getting merged in the future, or whether there are plans to revert the failed dark mode, or whether there's at least someone from the team working on it who actually _uses_ dark mode.

Please try to understand my point of view as an external contributor when I say: I'm not under the impression that contributions or concerns by non-team people are being appreciated. We're left to discuss stuff for years, and then some embarrassing "just make it less bright" is being merged and rolled out without any discussion or consultation whatsoever.

I for one have decided to just fix it with [a userscript](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/517498-openstreetmap-dark-mode-filter-based) and not bother trying to upstream any improvements, or contribute to the website going forward.
