#947: Remove header login form from login.php and register.php templates

Component: Administration | Version: 1.0-alpha-1
Severity: major | Keywords: accessibility
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Having the mini login form in the header of the login template poses an
accessibility issue.
1. A user using a screen reader goes to the front page.
2. User tries to log in, but enters an incorrect password in the mini
login form in the header.
3. The user is redirected to the main login page.
4. The user tabs through the page to see where he/she is and first
encounters the mini login form. Note that the mini login form does not
show any errors, just blank fields.
To this user using a screen reader, at first glance there is no
information about why the login procedure failed.
Removing the mini login form from these pages ensures that the user tabs
first to the main login form complete with error messages.
