[arch-general] Forum and wiki registration bug

The current registration question for the forums is
What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?
and for the wiki
What is the output of "date -u +%W`uname`|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?
so I guess the wiki is csh-friendly.

The code breaks in the first week of the year.

Allan suggested a fix, but it hasn't been implemented:

I can open a bug report for this, but there are also ideas how to make
it easier for people using other shells or non-Linux systems, e.g.,:

There already is https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32066 open.
