[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Designate regions where new accounts cannot edit or add notes (Issue #6512)

For one tiny part of this - I would imagine the best way to designate an area is with a polygon - I think squares or circles would be too limiting for moderators and they would end up creating multiple adjacent regions to fit a real-world situation. If we go down this route, and use polygons, I think it would therefore be best built on top of PostGIS rather than rolling our own polygon storage and intersection testing.

Another tiny part - defining whether a changeset intersects a given polygon is not well defined. One example is when the entities are far apart - e.g. if a changeset contains a node in London and one in Australia, would that be blocked by a zone over the Middle East? It's the same problem we've had for years with the History view.
