Every password-shaped check was mounted bare, so guessing was limited only
by bcrypt cost. A shared in-memory AttemptLimiter now sits in front of them:

- login: 10 failures per account and 50 per address per 15 min, checked
  before the user lookup and bcrypt; 429 with Retry-After. A success clears
  the account's count but not the address's.
- unknown usernames run a dummy bcrypt compare, so timing no longer says
  which accounts exist.
- register: 10 per address per hour; forgot-password: 5 per address and 3
  per email per hour (applied whether or not the email matches); reset: 20
  failed tokens per address per 15 min.
- Subsonic /rest: same limits as login, counting only wrong credentials,
  since clients authenticate on every request.

Web login, register, reset and forgot-password screens say how long to
wait; web and Android carry copy for the rate_limited code.
