Check the current password whenever the saved password changes

The profile asked for the current password when the request's password
field was filled in. The check now follows the save itself: the model
checks the challenge whenever the password digest is about to change,
and the profile always hands it the challenge. Editing a name, avatar
or email without a new password still needs none, and scripts that
reset a password, which set no challenge, are unaffected.

Only a string counts as a challenge, and the rate limit counts every
non-empty one, so what's limited is exactly what gets checked.
