Redo Signup/Login to be through an in-app web browser #1887

Change the current signup/login to be through an in-app browser

Might require some design.

FWIW, this also requires coordination with the web team to figure out how this would work, so that part is ready for a dev to work on. Ultimately, no matter how the user signs in or signs up, the webview needs to provide the app with a working OAuth access token. Devs in this project need to figure out the best way to receive that (in the URL? as an HTTP header in a response? as JS in the webview sending an explicit message out of the webview?), and the web team needs to figure out what's feasible and secure.

Personally I would start by figuring this out for basic sign in to an existing account, and once that's working, move on to sign up, reset password, and 3rd party.
