[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Combine Export and Share panels (Issue #6575)

The Export section is on the left side because it’s in the sitewide navigation bar. I assume we’d want to keep the site navigation consistent across pages, but the sharing options aren’t useful on any page other than the homepage. The Export link also takes up room that we can use for other functions that are relevant on every page. For example, I don’t see why we shouldn’t have a Donate link accessible directly from the About or Communities page or the dashboard.

One way or another, I think a combination of the Export and Share panels would need to be called “Share”. Less technical users (including mappers) are less likely to recognize “Export” as something they have the skills for, and it makes less sense to “export” a permalink. If we move the sharing options to the left sidebar, then they’ll need to respond to switching layers.

On the bright side, a combined panel in the left sidebar would be a lot less cramped. The segmented control for choosing the type of link would have enough room to offer Overpass Query as an option. But how would the user access a left-hand panel, other than from the site navigation bar? Maybe we could stick the sharing button on the search bar, next to the directions button?
