[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add short links to OSM objects (Issue #5244)

[mmd]

_I'm not covering the question how and where we're generating these links in the first place._

> Links to OSM entities are quite unwieldy, e. g.: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/157188078.

There's still the third option to use `osm.org` along with the current schema: `https://osm.org/changeset/157188078`.

In particular for node, way and note, most of the savings can already be achieved by replacing `www.openstreetmap.org` by `osm.org`. Your proposal would reduce the length by another 10-15%. For your node example, that's 28 chars instead of 32.

Both "changeset" and "relation" are both fairly long as a string. At least for "relation", a shorter alias "rel" might be something we could discuss.
