Make it easy to link directly to the map

I posted a link to the site in reply to a KitchenerPost article with a terrible map.

And I noticed that someone clicking on the link would need to scroll down in order to see the map. I think that we should make it easier to link directly to the map. Some options:
- add an anchor tag into the front page, so that we can link to the map section directly
- create a seperate full screen map page
1 is easy, so I can do that first.
Are there any opinions on 2? I imagine something list the default OSM view with the wards and address search included.

How about we just get rid of a bunch of text on the front page?
It looks like the following URLs work already:

https://waterlooregionvotes.org/#map-searchbar
I also added
Nice! I will use those existing anchors when I post this again.
