Update default theme to make admin login easier to find

Problem

When you are new to FusionAuth, and you are using the default theme, and you land on the index page, the admin login can be hard to find.

Solution

Add the text 'Admin login' next to the lock so that users scanning for it can find it.

Alternatives/workarounds

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or workarounds you've considered.

Additional context

This came out of the stream with https://www.twitch.tv/endingwithali

Most folks will customize this page anyway, but it is a needless impediment to getting started.

This is sort of intentional. The feedback we received from clients is that if a user of theirs stumbles up https://login.acmecorp.com they don't want the user to accidentally try and log into the admin function of FusionAuth.

This landing page is completely theme-able and so a user of FusionAuth may choose to sue this landing page for their end users, redirect to something else, or make the login action more obvious if they choose.

So while we could change the default - this is all within the user's control, and while the "admin" user may prefer the admin login easier to get to - it may be more confusing for end users.

I'd argue that with the default theme we should optimize for the "first use" case, since most folks will be changing their theme in general and can then delete the login message.

But that "first use" users won't have any idea where to go to log in to the administrative user interface.
