Adds a "Sign in with Zcash" page to the Use Cases section, covering what the pattern is, how it works, the trade-offs, and the projects exploring it.
Two approaches are documented separately, since they have different requirements and costs:
The trade-offs section covers both, plus the shared limitations worth being honest about: no account recovery by default, address reuse recreating the tracking problem, no ratified standard so implementations don't interoperate, and the fact that it hides your finances from an app without making you anonymous inside it.
The six projects listed are from the Zcash Login track of Hackathon 3.0. Each description is taken from that project's own README rather than summarised secondhand, and they're framed as experiments rather than finished products.
