[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add OpenLocationCode to OSM website (#1807)

May I point out that modifying geo URIs to support anything else that WGS84 coordinates is not, lets say, a great idea. 

It would change a single, easy to support, universally the same URI format, in to something for which you have no idea of if the consuming application will actually support it or not. The case of using OLCs adds a notch of silliness to that as the decoded OLC data would _just _work_  in a regular geo: URI. I would note that the geo URI specification does actually provide for a different CRS, but it doesn't make any sense to exercise that.

It's a not totally unreasonable _make things easy_ change to support geo: URI as input to the search box simply as an alternative way to input coordinates without having to copy them out of the URI, however that is a bit off topic here (I added support for that in Vespucci a while back https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/pull/2758).
