[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Update relative timestamps dynamically (Issue #6534)

> I suggest changing the served page to use absolute date formats and relying on client-side JavaScript to relativize it in the first place.

Can this be done without creating content flicker, where the html version appears first before the JS overwrites it?

If not, or if that's complex to implement, then I'd prefer to continue serving the relative dates in the HTML and the JS can lazily take over updating it a few seconds after page load. The timestamp is already in the "datetime" attribute of the surrounding `<time>` tag so the JS can use that as the base.
