[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Make contribution heat map opt in (Issue #5804)

I would suggest to try to limit the discussion of this ticket to my specific feature request. The heat map is a newly added feature that is kind of a gadget: It doesn't directly benefit the OSM project. But it does have privacy issues as it shows editing patterns of users at a glance. Users have stated that they don't want to have it on their profile page without their consent. So I think we should make it optional.

Don't get me wrong: I do think it is important to also discuss other privacy related aspects like what information should be visible to logged-in users only, if publishing data to a public database includes consent to aggregate that data to create user profiles out of it and if the OSMF violates its own privacy policy. But maybe these should be better discussed in the community forum.
