Ticket 1196

[96gunna]

Description

Ticket completed by @96gunna and @JoshuaRivera209.
Login action now allows the user to login through a modal rather than a separate web page. After authentication, the modal goes away and the user can explore the page they're were already on with admin permissions. The logout action no longer automatically redirects to the home page unless the user was on a page that an unauthenticated user is not allowed to view.

Fixes #1196

Thanks to @96gunna and @JoshuaRivera209 for their first contribution to OED. Review and testing found it generally works fine. It is a nice touch that you also added the close button on the login modal. I did make a couple of small comments to address.
