Paul Nothaft 40a8a9882a fix(security): stop reflecting submitted values in validation errors everywhere, cap credential lengths, close the login timing oracle
safeValidationErrors moves to utils/routeHelpers and replaces every
res.status(400).json({ errors: errors.array() }) in the routes, so no 400
body carries the submitted value any more (setup, customer auth and
customer change-password were still echoing rejected passwords).

Admin login, gallery verify, customer login/register/reset, customer
change-password and setup now cap username/slug at 255 and passwords at
MAX_PASSWORD_LENGTH at the validator, so an oversized value never reaches
the lockout lookup, bcrypt or the failed-attempt log.

Admin and customer login run one bcrypt compare on every path; the unknown
account branch used to return in microseconds against ~100ms for a wrong
password, which enumerated usernames despite the generic message.
