From the 0.4 roadmap ("Find your people"): create an account from the login page, the way jskom can (create-person).

needs/user (roadmap open question 2): does kom.lysator.liu.se accept new accounts made from a client, and are there rules (real names, a presentation, an agreement) we should show before creating one? lyskomd has a server setting for whether anyone may create persons. The login page should ask the server and only offer sign-up where it's allowed.

Sketch:

A "Skapa konto" link on the login page: name, password twice, and then log in straight away.
Then a short first step: write a presentation (with a template), and join a few recommended channels (from the channel directory issue).
The server's rules, if any, shown before creating.
Errors said plainly (name taken, name not allowed, the server doesn't allow it).

e2e: against the devserver, which allows it.

Answered (D-046): kom.lysator.liu.se accepts new accounts, with no specific policy. So the login page offers 'Skapa konto' wherever the server allows it, with no rules step. No longer needs/user.

Merged in #164 (D-046). 'Ny här? Skapa ett konto' on the login page:

The form takes a name (with a hint), the password twice, and a note not to reuse it.
It's checked before sending, then connects as for logging in, runs create-person (89) and logs in with the new account.
The server's refusals are said plainly.
The login form now also reads the server field on submit (a race found by relay.spec).

Not included: the presentation step (with profiles, #151) and recommended channels (#150).

Verified: signup.spec on desktop, Android and iPhone; the remember, tls, relay and _visual specs; screenshots checked; CI green.
