various issues with the login functionality

[jnurthen]

• It is implemented as a link not a button. It looks and performs like a button (I understand it is implemented as a link but it doesn't really perform navigation) so IMO should be a button (note - there will probably be contrary opinions on this)
• The login button / status message is hidden when on viewports less that 992px width. This makes it impossible to tell if you are logged in without expanding the hamburger button. Whether the user is logged in or not is important enough it should not be hidden in any viewport.

+1 to displaying the logged-in/not-logged-in state at the top of the window regardless of the window width. One should not have to open the hamburger menu to be reminded.
