MediaZilla login screen asks for username, rather than e-mail address.

Description:
Like most Wikipedia users, I have a Wikipedia username different than my e-mail address. This causes problems with
bug reporting, as I forget that MediaZilla uses e-mail addresses for usernames and I use my Wikipedia username
instead.

While the e-mail address is technically the username for MediaZilla, there is no benefit in penalizing users for
their imperfect memory. It would be a lot easier if both the login prompt and the lost password prompt asked for
e-mail addresses instead of usernames.
