 In [changeset:"58280" 58280]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58280"
 User: Make the `user_login` field `readonly` instead of `disabled`.

 On the profile edit screen in ``wp-admin, the username was previously
 displayed using an input field with the `disabled` attribute. This field
 was skipped by screen readers, which leads to a loss of information for
 visually impaired users. This changeset switches it to a `readonly`
 attribute, which is exactly the purpose of this field.

 Props roytanck, audrasjb, rajinsharwar, joedolson.
 Fixes #60774.
