[Rebuild] Map display of the redaction bot progress

I made a map display showing where the redaction bot has been:
http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/license-change/botprocessing.php


That's based on regions mentioned in the bot log files appearing here:
http://gravitystorm.dev.openstreetmap.org/redactions/logs-live/

Andy set the bot going a second time in some regions to re-process them because it hit problems the first time round. Some bug to do with handling ampersand characters I think.  This results in two polygons drawn on top of each-other on my map display, which is a bit confusing. I'll have to try to fix that.


Although it's a .php URL, I didn't actually do anything with php code. It's just HTML/javascript (get it by doing 'view source'!)  But I have a ruby script running every minute to produce this JSONP file: http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/license-change/botprocessing.json

I know there's various obvious improvements I should make.
