fix(core): Throttle lost-password reset form when link is disabled

When password reset links were disabled, the reset form did not rate-limit
failed token attempts, leaving that endpoint open to unthrottled token
guessing. Failed attempts on the form are now always throttled, consistent
with the other reset steps.
