Integrate with iD editor validation framework via API

[tordans]

Recently, the iD editor added validation layers / Q/A-layers. They allow mapper to see validation issues inside the mapping UI and fix them right away. The github-tickets list for "validation" provides an overview of validation layers / Q&A-layers (but also inline validation).

• ImproveOSM https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2140
• KeepRight https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2130

This data set looks like a great addition to this validation list.

However, as far as i can see this app needs an API first, that would allow the iD editor to show and finish the issues. Things like

• list all issues for a given bounding box
• per issue, a list all features that area involved (iD can then over+highlight the roads/houses that are "involved" with the issue)
• provide an issue type id that can be used for translations inside of iD
• allow Id to mark issues as "ignored" or "solved" (similar to the KeepRight solution)
• a unique issue id and permalink that can be used by iD to link to the issue and also reference it inside the changeset-tags.

On the other hand – since the dataset is limited to a few countries –, iD probably needs to extend the feature that lists all available validation layer to be map-location-sensitive. Like with the "Deutsche Bahn" data layer that iD only shows in Germany.

I also plan to add a layer for osmoscope
