GHC GitLab change to login: disabling OAuth via GitHub

Hi folks,

Spammers have been abusing GitHub OAuth to create accounts on
gitlab.haskell.org and post spam.

Due to team resources, the only good way to stop spammers right now is to
manually approve each new user. GitHub OAuth defeats that by automatically
approving new users.

So, sadly, I have disabled GitHub OAuth for the time being. If you used it
to sign up and have trouble logging in now, one of us admins can help you
out.
