Improve the user experience with bad password #817

Description

keyword_sprint owner:york@isoc.org resolution_overtaken by events type_enhancement | by york@isoc.org


When a user attempts to sign in to datatracker and repeatedly enters a bad password, they are given a 401 Unauthorized page from Apache as shown in the attached image.

Instead they should be given a page in the regular site look-and-feel where they can then attempt to login again or request a password reset.

Henrik has indicated that this is currently handled entirely by Apache. As Django does not provide any native handlers for 401 errors, the approach we'll take is to create a 401.html file with the appropriate text and then configure Apache to request this file when it encounters a 401 error.
