{{{
#!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61610"
Login and Registration: Populate username after password reset.
Accessibility: to meet WCAG 2.2/3.3.7: Redundant entry, the username
should be auto-populated when a user performs a password reset.
There is an existing cookie set that contains this information, but was
deleted before displaying the login form.
Move cookie deletion to occur after displaying login form and use to set
`$user_login`.
