Description

While we already have the option to login with a Solid WebID via the settings, it would be useful to also have an entry in the datasources list.

To quote @pmcb55:

So I was just thinking, could it also be added as an option in the 'Choose datasources:' dropdown menu (just visually, so instead of the current text (when you click on that dropdown) of 'Select a preset datasource, or type custom URL', it becomes 'Select a preset datasource, type custom URL, or log into a Solid Pod', and if you select a 'Solid Pod' option from that dropdown, the UI for 'Solid authentication:' appears.

Research direction

Start by locating the datasources dropdown and the existing Solid WebID authentication UI in the settings. Trace how datasource selections are rendered, then make the Solid Pod option reveal the Solid authentication UI; done when the dropdown wording and selection behavior match the requested flow.
