put/instance/setup/account-identity

Choose the sign-in method for a new instance

Sets how people sign in on a new self-hosted instance, and for email sign-in whether usernames are unique with no tag. Username sign-in always uses unique usernames. It works only before setup is finished and before the first account exists. After that it fails with ACCOUNT_IDENTITY_LOCKED.
