Bug Description
Launchpad's staging environment does not send email.
However, its +login page allows you to:
* request a password reminder
* register for a new account.
Without being able to send email, neither of these is any use. Also, creating a new account on staging is futile in most cases due to the daily database reset.
We should change staging's +login page to:
* remove the "forgotten password" link
* remove the "new registration" section
* add a message directing people to production if they've either forgotten their password or want to create a new account.
The alternative would be to change staging's "forgotten password" link so it goes to production and to similarly redirect the new account form to production. However, I think this has the potential to confuse people who would reasonably expect that their actions were taking place on staging and not production.

Perhaps the copy on the staging registration page should also indicate that the user accounts are replicated from lp.net and if you can't log in, please wait until your account has been replicated.
