FEATURE: Allow target attribute in links in user_field descriptions (#19102)
This change adds `target` to the set of attributes allowed by the
HTML sanitizer which is applied to the description of a user_field.

The rationale for this change:

 * If one puts a link (<a>...</a>) in the description of a user_field
   that is present and/or required at sign-up, the expectation is that
   a prospective new user will click on that link during sign-up.
 * Without an appropriate `target` attribute on the link, the new page
   will be loaded in the same window/tab as the sign-up form, but this
   will obliterate any fields that the user had already filled-out on
   the form.  (E.g., hitting the back-button will return to an
   empty form.)
 * Such UX behavior is incredibly aggravating to new users.

This change allows an admin to add a `target` attribute to links, to
instruct the browser to open them in a different window/tab, leaving
a sign-up form intact.
