[patch] Allow template_name argument to django.views.auth.login.login

[Adam Endicott <leftwing17@…>]

Its a bit restrictive being forced to use 'registration/login' as the template when using the login generic view. So I just added a template_name keyword argument (defaults to 'registration/login') to bring it in line with some of the other generic views.

django/views/auth/login.py isn't a "generic" view. Generic views are in django/views/generic. The login view is a standard view.
