 Users could type `login.php` by accident when trying to access their admin
 dashboard because `wp-login.php` is a known URL and shorthand, and either
 they don't remember or get it wrong.

 Let's make that more friendly.

 Right now WordPress treats it as a 404, and tries to redirect it to a
 valid permalink if it's available.

 It'd be more user-friendly to automatically send to login page, or admin
 if logged in.
