Pass the sandbox site credentials in the URL so that they can be auto-filled. #205

We currently have this:

Website: http://PR.backdrop.backdrop.qa.backdropcms.org Username: admin Password: 123abc

Can we have it like so for example:

Website: http://PR.backdrop.backdrop.qa.backdropcms.org/login?user=admin&pass=123abc

...this is basically a request to do the same thing that simplytest.me does:

simplytest me-credentials_prefilled

This is not the browser remembering and auto-filling the credentials (the password is different for each sandbox). These are passed on and all it takes is a single click in order to login and start testing away. Easy!

If https://github.com/backdrop-ops/backdropcms.org/issues/621 happens then it should certainly be possible, since we're now doing that with Tugboat demo sites on B.org (and you don't even have to click 'Log in').

621 is about setting up sandboxes for backdropcms.org, but this issue is about the sandboxes for PRs against core, which currently use ZenCI for the automated testing. I don't think there are plans to switch core's sandboxes to tugboat, since we don't currently have any other options for automated testing, but that doesn't mean we can't do the same uername/password magic with with ZenCI that we do with Tugboat.
