Description of the need
There should be a setting to use the admin theme for the log-in page, similar to how we have a checkbox to use the admin theme for the content edit form.
This would prevent everyone from needing to theme the log in page specially, when the log in form is only used for administrators.
Proposed solution
- Add a checkbox
- Switch the log-in / password reset / registration pages to use the selected theme
- Make sure these pages look good in the Seven theme
