auth: reset links pause for a day after five (audit A3)

Security audit 2026-10-17, finding A3 (low), stage 3. sendReset spaced
reset mails ten minutes apart and capped them at five an hour per account,
so a stranger who repeated a username kept a live 30-minute link arriving
in the administrator's mailbox five times an hour, for ever.

Now five reset links a day per account (resetDayLimiter); the sixth
request sends one notice instead - "Reset links paused for a day", no
link, saying further requests are ignored for 24 hours and that a global
administrator can set a password on Server > Users - and every later one
in the window sends nothing (resetNoticeLimiter), logged either way. In
memory, like every limiter: a restart clears them.

Test: TestResetLinksPauseForADayAfterFive. Docs: security.md, guide §
Account; CHANGELOG; plan.

- **Reset links pause for a day after five** (audit A3): anyone who knew a
username could keep a live reset link arriving in that mailbox five times
an hour. After five in a day the owner is told once that further requests
are ignored for 24 hours.
