This PR adds minor adjustments to sign up procedures in prerequisite sections.

  • Adding one word verified to instances of Docker account in prerequisite sections is a subtle, unobtrusive change that returning, verified users can gloss over, while still prompting new users to verify their email if they haven't yet.
  • Changes stick to specific instances in ## Prerequisite sections and does not add verified to every instance (which would be obtrusive).
  • Some minor changes to the /accounts/create-account doc to eliminate redundant steps and reduce number of procedures, while still keeping CTA for verification.
    • Note: If we want a more verbose description of verification, this might be the doc to do it in. Happy to draft something up.
  • If an instance of Docker account links to /create-account and not the sign up page, I did not add verification.
    • Note: we may want to consider a direct link to a sign up page rather than linking them to a create account page. This can be a separate PR, however.

Just FYI, if they don’t verify their account, it won’t be created and they won’t be able to log in. I just wanted to share those additional details. Up to you if you want to specify that in the doc.
