Ask for the current password to change it

Changing the password now ends every other session, so whoever holds
one could shut the owner out of their own account with a new password.
The profile asks for the current password whenever the password
changes; without it, or with a wrong one, nothing is saved and the page
says why. Other profile edits don't need it, and the admin
reset-password script still works without it.

Attempts are rate limited like signing in, 10 in 3 minutes per address,
so the current password can't be guessed here instead.

From #371. The cached-response test it touches isn't in 1.5.2.
