feat(passwd): self-service password reset across git, mail & chat (#59)

Add a key-gated `ssh passwd@host` route (alias `password@`) that sets ONE
member-chosen password across every service with its own credential:

  - git  (Forgejo)        new forgejo.SetPassword (PATCH /admin/users, clears
                          must_change; EnsureUser first so the account exists)
  - mail (Mailu webmail)  existing mailu.SetPassword
  - chat (IRC/Ergo + The Lounge)  new internal/ircpass package

Because the route authenticates by the member's registered SSH key, it also
serves as the forgot-password path — no old password required.

The BBS runs as a non-root service user, but the Ergo password store and The
Lounge user files are root-owned. internal/ircpass bridges this by shelling out
to scripts/set-irc-password.sh through a narrow sudoers rule (installed by
setup.sh). The new password travels on stdin (a new `set-irc-password.sh
<member> -` form), so it never appears in the process table or sudo's log.

UX: masked entry typed twice (readSecret); no-PTY reads stdin; empty input
generates a strong password and shows it once. Each service leg is independent
and best-effort with a per-service ✓/✗ summary, plus a confirmation email that
never contains the password.

Tests: ircpass (stdin contract + member/password rejection), forgejo.SetPassword,
auth IsPasswdName + reservation. Docs: credentials.md (passwd@ section) + irc.md.

# set-irc-password.sh <member> - # read the password from stdin
# set-irc-password.sh --all # provision any member missing one

# The "-" form is how the (non-root) BBS passwd@ flow calls this under sudo: the
# password arrives on stdin so it never lands in the process table or sudo's log.
#
# Run as root on the BBS box. The member must already be a BBS member; this only
# sets the secret — membership itself is still gated by /irc-auth.
