TASK DESCRIPTION

Trying to better understand this issue of T183466, I create a temporary account (Test20180327) on enwiki, and tried Site(code, 'wikipedia').login() (without autocreate) several times. The account was created automatically every time.

Then I noticed that the parameter is only respected if the password is not saved in a password file.

Users who have a password file will have an account created for them every time.

This difference in behaviour is unexpected. We either want the accounts to be auto-created by default or we don't, if we don't if should not depend on password file.

IMO, we should always have accounts auto-created if possible.
