Keep "Remember me" checkbox checked

[xibe]

One tiny annoying thing with WP's login is that, when you enter your id/pwd and tick the "Remember Me" checkbox, if your id or password is wrong, once the page reloaded, the checkbox is unticked.

Since I'm on a good number of blogs, and I use a different password for each of them, I like to prevent relogging by ticking the box, yet I often have to try 2/3 times to get the right password - hance having to tick the box for every failure.

Therefore, it'd be nice if the form could remember the status of the checkbox.

Using $_POSTrememberme?.

Style notes:

$rememberbe should always be set. In this case, it would emit an E_NOTICE when it is not checked. Change the first chunk of code to $rememberme = !empty( $_POST['rememberme'] );. For the second chunk, we have checked(). simply do checked($rememberme);.

Ticket notes:

I'd like some UX feedback on this, as I'm not sure if there is a reason why we don't do this.

There is no reason afaik and the current behavior drives me insane every day. That's why I'm so weird.

(In [14280]) Keep 'remember me' checked when user/pass is incorrect. props xibe, fixes #13165.

Thanks for correcting my patch, Nacin. Will take note.
