Bug Description
Adding the appropriate autocomplete attributes to the inputs on the self-registration form would provide a more pleasant and accessible experience, with less typing, having to remember specific items, or watching the browser fill in the wrong value.
For example, the middle name field (aka second given name) could be <input autocomplete=
These values for the autocomplete attributes are only appropriate when users is filling out personal information about themselves. So, we shouldn't get over-eager and add it to, say, the new patron form in the staff client.
* the list of values can be found from MDN: https:/
* more information is found in the wcag technique: https:/
The absence of these attributes is a WCAG 2.1 level AA violation.

Noting some additional issues we might consider filing separately:
* Should we add something to the end of https:/ /docs.evergreen -ils.org/ eg/docs/ latest/ admin/patron_ self_registrati on.html describing where to find the patron registration form once the settings have been changed? I had to ask for the URL.
* I did not see the expected link in the footer. I think there should also be a link in the My Account area or login form if registration is enabled.
