    The My Account page was written with legacy configforms styling in
    mind. We worked around layout issues with custom styling, dynamically
    altering some classes, and trying to make some parts of the UI line up
    and blend together in somewhat hacky ways.

    Djblets 2.0 switches configform pages over to a cleaner, more modern CSS
    Component structure, with improved styling and layout. This definitely
    breaks a lot of the My Account page, which this change fixes by
    utilizing the new layout constructs and stripping away old hacks.

    For the most part, this includes wrapping some elements in a
    djblets-l-config-forms-container container element, switching to newer
    class names, and removing unwanted styling to allow some of the fixes in
    the core classes to work correctly.

    There are a couple cases where we've had to alter some CSS to work
    correctly in modern configforms. For instance, rb-c-search-input and
    rb-c-form-field__errors needed to work around configforms taking
    precedence and overriding some styling. These are unfortunate hacks,
    currently. The plan, a bit further down the road, is to centralize our
    styling in a more common component, but for now this is a necessary
    evil.

    Unit tests pass.

    Tested every subpage and form in the My Account page.

      I've had issues with using <div /> outside of XHTML, and using <div></div> would be more consistent with the <span> tag above.

      1. Agreed. It was just there before so I didn't change it.

        I think the template/jQuery stuff handles this correctly, but I'll change it.
