 I know it's been brought up in #31744 but I thought it deserved it's own
 ticket. `wp-signup.php` is a bit of a mess and a massive pain to
 customise.

 I propose we refactor some of the code by doing the following:

 - Move the functions out into wp-includes
 - Add more hooks for customisation purposes
 - Refactor PHP so it's easier to read
 - I also think it'd be a good time to look at the markup as it seems quite
 inconsistent on this page.

 I understand that https://make.wordpress.org/core/2011/03/23/code-
 refactoring/ says we shouldn't refactor for the sake of it, but I feel
 this would be for the good or WordPress multisite in the long run as this
 page really is a massive pain.
