 Background: #34625

 On Multisite, the `title` attribute in `login_header()` is different from
 the link text and has some meaning.
 {{{
 <a href="http://ms.wordpress.dev/" title="Network Title"
 tabindex="-1">Site Title</a>
 }}}
 On single site, however, the `title` attribute just duplicates the link
 text and is redundant:
 {{{
 <a href="http://wordpress.dev/" title="Powered by WordPress"
 tabindex="-1">Powered by WordPress</a>
 }}}

 Most of the `title` attributes are already removed from core via #24766
 and related tickets. We should consider removing this one as well, either
 completely or only if it duplicates the link text.

 The `login_headertitle` filter could either be deprecated or repurposed to
 filter the link text instead.
