Refuse passwords over 72 bytes and confirm only stored ones (closes #144)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

bcrypt cannot hash a password longer than 72 bytes. PASS over the HTTP
API answered one with a 500, and the IRC listener confirmed it without
storing it.

Both transports now refuse a password outside 8 to 72 bytes with the
reply a short one already got: 461 over the HTTP API, a NOTICE over the
IRC listener. setPassword returns its error, and "Password set" is sent
only when the password was stored. A PASS given before registration, an
empty one included, is checked after the welcome burst and gets the
same NOTICE.
