fix(security): share-login must not bypass gallery password (GHSA-9hmx-68vc-qpqw)

POST /auth/gallery/share-login validated only the 128-bit share token and then
minted a full type:'gallery' access token regardless of require_password —
computing requiresPassword at the end only to echo it, never enforce it. Anyone
holding a gallery's share link could read and download every photo in a
password-protected gallery via a direct API call, no password needed.

Fix: compute requiresPassword before minting; for a password-protected gallery
return { requires_password: true } with NO token and NO cookie. The client then
goes through /gallery/verify, which does bcrypt.compare the password. The public
(no-password) auto-login path is unchanged. The frontend already falls through
to the password prompt when share-login returns no token/event.

Adds route regression test covering the bypass, the public path, and bad tokens.

/**
* Regression test for GHSA-9hmx-68vc-qpqw — share-link login must not bypass
* the gallery password.
*
* POST /auth/gallery/share-login validates only the share token. For a
* password-protected gallery it previously minted a full `type:'gallery'`
* access token on the share token alone, letting anyone holding the share URL
* read the gallery without the password. The fix: when the gallery requires a
* password, return `{ requires_password: true }` with NO token and NO cookie.
