Description
It is possible to make your own authentication backend. However, if you want to authenticate with usernames longer than 30 characters (e.g. emails) you cannot rely on the login view, since it's bound to use the AuthenticationForm, which itself only allows 30 characters usernames. You could easily find a way around if only the form was customizable.
Curiously, some views already allow form customization -- password_reset_confirm and password_reset -- but the others don't -- login and password_change --. The attached patch fixes the latter.

Ok, here's a patch with both changes and docs.
It also makes the password_change_form use keyword arguments for niceness (and patch is a bit bigger because my editor strips trailing whitespace).

Any plans on adopting this? Does this need to be associated with a milestone again to get checked in?

Just a note: the same request has been checked in for password reset views, see #6905.
