Comment:

 In [changeset:"43276" 43276]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43276"
 Privacy: Reposition log in policy link to avoid overlapping elements.

 Previously, the link used absolute positioning, in order to stick it at
 the bottom of the page. That was done in order to create visual separation
 between it and the "action" links, like "Lost Your Password?"

 The absolute positioning can cause conflicts in some situations, though.
 For example, if extra text or error notices are added above the form, then
 the login link would be positioned on top of other elements.

 Switching to relative positioning with extra margins avoids those issues,
 while maintaining the visual separation between the "action" links and the
 privacy policy link.

 Props imath, melchoyce, desrosj, xkon, iandunn.
 Merges [43274] to the 4.9 branch.
 Fixes #44046.
