feat(auth): self-service password reset (backend + web)

Add a full password-reset flow — the prerequisite for the Android app
(docs/android/PLAN.md §8.2), which hands off to the website for reset
rather than shipping a native screen.

Backend:
- password_resets table: stores only the sha256 hash of an opaque 32-byte
  token (mirrors user_invites / mobile_refresh_tokens), single-use, ~1h TTL.
- model/passwordResets + users.getActiveByEmail (email is non-unique, so a
  request can match several accounts, each emailed its own link).
- mailer.sendPasswordReset (fails soft when email is unconfigured).
- Endpoints: POST /auth/password/forgot (always a generic 200 — no account
  enumeration), GET|POST /auth/password/reset/:token. Confirming rotates the
  hash and revokes every session (web cutoff + mobile refresh tokens); it does
  not auto-login, so a 2FA account still passes TOTP next sign-in. Also serves
  SSO-only accounts (null hash) as their set-initial-password path.
- Dedicated request/confirm rate limiters. Swagger regenerated.

Web:
- ForgotPassword + ResetPassword pages, routes /account/forgot and
  /account/reset/:token, and a "Forgot your password?" link on the login page.

Tests: test/passwordResets.test.js (5). All server tests pass; client builds;
end-to-end smoketest against MariaDB passes (no-enumeration, single-use, hash
rotation, session revoke, login with the new password).
