Theming

We tweak the login form CSS a little in order to fix the LDAP button background, the labels, and to tweak the display order of the options.

This is done from https://discourse.osgeo.org/admin/customize/themes/1/common/scss/edit

.btn.ldap {
    background-color: #fff;
    order: 1;
}

.btn.ldap:hover {
    background-color: var( --primary-medium );
}

.btn.ldap span.btn-social-title {
    visibility: hidden;
}

.btn.ldap span.btn-social-title:before {
    visibility: visible;
    content: 'Log in with OSGeo UserID (LDAP)';
}

.btn.oidc {
