We need a Sign-up (Register) link without user specific query parameters)

As-Is:

we use user specific query parameters that do not allow a clear link to Sign-up - see example below
example link: https://auth.star.vote:8443/realms/STARVotingDev/login-actions/registration?client_id=star_vote_web&tab_id=**4j1mvJWyvWI**

Should-be:

A good example from another website: https://www1.simplyvoting.com/manage/?mode=signup

Some other voting websites do not have a clean url Sign-up either:

I edited the title and description to remove the references to session cookies, this ticket is actually referring to query parameters that are specific to the user

I agree it would be nice to have a direct sign up button instead of just a login button, but I don't think we'll be linking external people directly to the sign up page. We'll want new users to start at the landing page so that they can be oriented properly

I'm moving this to 2.0 . I see it as important, but I expect it'll be difficult to configure keycloak to do this so I don't think it's worth thinking about in the near term

Found some keycloak docs here: https://keycloak.discourse.group/t/direct-registration-page-link/4937
