Rate-limit the password change endpoint (#65)
The password change POST verifies the current password, making it
a password-based authentication endpoint that REPO_POLICIES.md
requires rate limiting on. Extract the login limiter's POST-only
per-IP pattern into a shared postRateLimit helper and apply the
same 5-per-minute limit to POST /user/{username}/password.
