Remove push subscriptions on a password change, and post them again

A push subscription belongs to the user, not a session, so a device
signed out by a password change kept getting notifications. Changing
the password now removes every subscription along with the sessions,
in the same transaction.

A browser still signed in keeps its own subscription in its service
worker, so the notifications controller posts it once per session: the
bell names the session by a digest of its id, never its token, and the
browser remembers the last one it posted for. That post never
unsubscribes the browser when the server refuses it.

A request that authenticated just before the change could put a
subscription back after it. The create action now checks the session
still exists and saves in one immediate transaction, after validating
the endpoint outside it.

From #371.
