fix(backend): reject a replayed TOTP code within its validity window (#1389)

* fix(backend): reject a replayed TOTP code within its validity window

verifyTotp() was stateless — otplib's window:1 tolerance meant the
same 6-digit code could complete two independent logins inside its
~90s validity window. Track each admin's last-consumed step and
reject a code that doesn't advance past it.

* fix(backend): make the TOTP replay-tracking persist atomic

verifyTotpEncryptedStep() read two_factor_last_used_step, then a plain
UPDATE wrote the new step with no conditional guard — two concurrent
requests carrying the same captured code could both pass the check
before either UPDATE landed. The persist is now a conditional UPDATE
(only advances the step, checked via affected-row count), so a losing
concurrent request is correctly treated as a replay.
