Subject: [PATCH] feat(ui): provide ability to add a warning message to the
 registration/login screens (#12597)

Example for how that would look like on code.forgejo.org:

![img](/attachments/eff849d5-4269-4c26-b742-b525de7709d1)

Login screen examples:

|![1](/attachments/78c23389-7bbd-490d-967a-da87d451c199)|![2](/attachments/c4693cd3-2616-4396-92e3-f22dbe8a0103)|
|-|-|

Many instances would benefit from being able to communicate such information before a user signs up or logs in after a long break.

## Testing

Disabled unless admin explicitly decides to create a template override, nothing to test.

In theory CSS could break but IDK how to test against that given the custom template requirement.

Also need to know that template customizations are provided as-is and shift all accountability of maintaining them to admins.
