Click the menu inside the WebView (3 horizontal lines) and log in.

## Purpose / Description Users were confused by the AnkiWeb "Please log in to p…erform more searches" Fairly common question. Example: * https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/i-cant-search-and-download-the-shared-decks/38526/2 ## Approach There are 2 HTTP 429s sent: * on search * on clicking "Download" Handle them both, and redirect the user to the login screen ## How Has This Been Tested? <details> <summary>Screenshots</summary> ![Screenshot 2023-12-18 at 19 39 43](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/assets/62114487/952655a6-8d46-4ead-8ce2-72146ac102b7) ![Screenshot 2023-12-18 at 19 09 59](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/assets/62114487/59c855f2-b58a-4401-85b8-2a100b5834a4) </details> ## Learning (optional, can help others) ⚠️ This still isn't great, as it redirects the user to their decks, rather than back to their search, but it's better than it was ## Checklist - [x] You have a descriptive commit message with a short title (first line, max 50 chars). - [x] You have commented your code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [x] You have performed a self-review of your own code - [ ] UI changes: include screenshots of all affected screens (in particular showing any new or changed strings) - [ ] UI Changes: You have tested your change using the [Google Accessibility Scanner](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.accessibility.auditor)
