[wp-docs] Codex authorization

[Otto]

Currently new user registration is disabled on the codex.

I'm working on integrating the codex logins with the rest of the .org
system right now, so that your normal .org login will work and we
won't have the need for a separate registration. This may take some
time.

Note: Usernames are going to be a bit of a problem. If you have any
non-alphanumeric characters in your wordpress.org username, you may
want to rethink what your username should be. The wiki has some rather
strict username requirements, more strict than WordPress itself. I'm
trying to work around these, but it may not be possible to work around
them all.
