[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] blocks with needs_view flag not shown when user does oauth authorisation (for example login into an OSM editor) (Issue #5490)

If you want to be lazy, just show the 403 response message. It tells about the block. That's what iD does. We can put an url there to to read the block directly. *User will be never notified about block* if the block doesn't have the needs_view flag and you just delete the token.

There are ways to detect blocks

a) assuming that nothing is changed on the website - see https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/6062#issuecomment-2565450817 - under this assumption whatever you requesting in issues here also hasn't happened and GDPR-related changes haven't happened

b) assuming that changes happen - #5452 + another change that would add some page, let's say `/account/blocks/check` that would tell the user everything they need to know about their current blocked status. Then you'll have the following options:
- proper option: got 403 - check the current block api - if there are current blocks, tell the user that they either need to view that `/account/blocks/check` page to clear the block, or that they need to wait until a certain date
- lazier option: got 403 - tell the user that maybe they're blocked, go check `/account/blocks/check` to find out
- super lazy option: got 403 - show the server response, like you can do now
