[keycloak-user] Hiding the Login elements when we know that the user must Register

[Stian Thorgersen]

Your app can link directly to the registration page instead of login page.
Simple replace the endpoint ../auth with ../registrations.

You can try if login_hint will populate the username field, but you can't
currently populate the email field.
