Description

SignUp and SignIn are very similar and it takes a moment to figure out what they are doing, especially for non-native English speakers. We should use a different term for "creating an account". I think a common one is "Register" or just "Create Account"

* `SignUps::New/Create` -> `Registrations::New/Create`
* `SignUpUser` -> `RegisterUser`

Who uses this:

* etsy (sign in/register)
* google (sign in/create account)
* wikipedia (log in/create account)
* amazon (sign in/create account)

### Alternatives

Change `SignIn` to `LogIn` and keep `SignUp`

Who uses this nomenclature:

* facebook
* heroku
* reddit
* pinterest
* wikipedia (log in/create account)
* stackoverflow
* netlify identity widget (log in/sign up)

I'm leaning toward Sign In -> Log In
