As explained in the README, this prototype currently requires baking in a set of account credentials at build time.

By using an appropriate test account, that works fine for development and even for distributing a build among a handful of people. But it'd get unwieldy for distributing a build to more people, especially now (after #9) that the app's functionality isn't all read-only.

So we should add the ability for the user to log in in a normal way, and should then remember the resulting credentials in the app's storage.

Splitting this issue in two: this one will track just the login flow itself, and I've added #34 for storing the resulting credentials on the device.

To get a reasonable user experience we'll need both. But the login flow is a nontrivial enough UI, and starting to do on-device storage is a large enough infrastructural task, that I think I'll want to merge the one without blocking on the other. So this is the issue we'll close on merging the login flow, and then #34 is an important followup.

There's plenty more to do to improve the UX of this, and I've
filed several follow-up issues.  Most critically, we'll need
to store the resulting credentials on the device, so you don't
have to repeat the login each time you start the app.

But this is enough that it becomes possible to log in at an
account of your choice, making the flow testable end to end.
In particular this makes a useful bootstrapping step toward
the task of storing data locally: with this, there's now some
useful data we could store.
