Admin user management, password reset by email, and the Ultimo Email name

Branding: the page titles and app name are now "Ultimo Email".

Admin panel (now two columns with a divider):
- Users: search by login or by a mail account's address or name (results
  only, nothing listed until something is typed). A user opens a window to
  change their quota, block/unblock them, or delete them; block and delete ask
  for confirmation, and an admin cannot do either to their own account.
- Blocking (users.blocked_at, migration 0019) refuses sign-in with a clear
  message and revokes every session; a new user.signed_out event sends the
  user's open tabs to the sign-in screen at once. Any "not signed in" answer
  now does the same, not only /auth/me. Deleting removes mail accounts (sync
  stops), plugin rows (cleared inside the user's RLS context, since plugin
  tables have no FK to users), blobs, the search index, sessions and the user.
- Outgoing system mail (migration 0020): SMTP server, port, security, login,
  password (vault-encrypted, never sent back), From address and the public
  address reset links point to, plus a "Send test" that reports the server's
  error.

Password reset:
- "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page asks for the user name and always
  answers "If this account exists you will receive an email to your recovery
  email address"; the mail goes out after the response, so neither the reply
  nor its timing reveals an account, and it is capped at 3 per hour.
- The emailed link (token in the URL fragment, single use, 30 minutes) opens a
  page to set a new password. With 2-step verification on, the code is checked
  before anything changes; five wrong codes burn the link.
- Settings > Profile: the recovery email can be added, changed or removed,
  confirmed with the current password, which must be typed — autofill and
  paste are refused (TypedPasswordInput).

Also adds frontend/icons/ultimo-logo-bimi.svg, an SVG Tiny PS version of the
logo for a BIMI record.
