If the password changes again between this browser's change and its new session, that session is refused, and the browser is sent to sign in instead of an error.
(cherry picked from commit a476cbfa24)
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.

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.

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.
(cherry picked from commit 44a92ff6c6)
An after_commit condition reads the record's last save, so another save
of the user in the same transaction skipped the disconnect even though
the sessions were gone. The callback that deletes them now registers
the disconnect on the transaction itself, which also leaves a rolled
back change alone. A password changed along with the avatar is covered
too: the attachment's touch doesn't hide the change.
From #371.
(cherry picked from commit e158388f3d)
Keeping the session the password was changed from also kept any copy of
its cookie working, and a copied cookie is one of the ways someone else
gets into an account. Every session ends now, and the profile page
signs the browser that changed the password back in with a new one.
From #371.
(cherry picked from commit b01bb7a0a7)
Changing the password is how someone shuts out whoever else is signed
in to their account, but every session opened with the old password
stayed valid. Now the others end and their live connections close, as
on sign-out. The session the password was changed from stays signed in.
Changing the password outside a request, as from a console, ends every
session.
From #371. 1.5.2 has no record snapshot or response cache, so the test
that a cached session lookup doesn't outlive the password change is
left out; the rest applies as it is.

install-edge.svg lives in app/assets/images/external/, alongside the
other install icons, but the Edge branch of pwa/_install_instructions
asked for it at the top level. Propshaft raises MissingAssetError, so a
browser the useragent gem reports as Edge got a 500 on the profile page
and anywhere else the partial renders.
