IOS devices often auto-capitalize the first letter in input fields. While
this may be OK in a lot of places, it's not an acceptable behavior while
usernames remain case sensitive (i.e.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2273).
To address this issue, username inputs should include
`autocapitalize="none"` among the attrs for the username (and possibly
password) fields. I ran into this issue with
`django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm`, where
`autocapitalize="none"` could be added to the attrs in the property-based
field. However, I could see the argument for fixing it at the
`UsernameField` so it cascades to other uses (e.g. `UserCreationForm` and
`UserChangeForm`).
