feat(auth): the recovery key never reaches the hub
Ticking "also e-mail it to me" at registration sent the recovery key R in
the register body, and the hub appended it to the verification e-mail: the
hub saw R in clear on its way out, and the resend door — no captcha — let
anyone who knew a pending username and address have the hub mail a
"recovery key" of their choosing.
The box is gone. The recovery screen offers "E-mail it to myself", a mailto:
link that opens the person's own mail application with the key filled in;
the desktop shell hands mailto: to the system (http, https and mailto only)
and the Android shell to a mail application (ACTION_SENDTO). The CLI drops
--email-recovery-key and prints the key, as before. The hub mails the code
alone, and refuses a register that still carries a recovery_key rather than
dropping it, so an older client offering the option cannot tell someone
their key was sent when it was not.
A mailbox holding R remains, with the reset code that reaches the same
mailbox, enough to recover the account's identities; the link says so, and
it is the person's choice.
Checked in Chrome and Firefox (headless, the real page against a stubbed
hub) and by the CLI's end-to-end registration against a local hub. The
Android change was not built here, and the desktop link was not clicked in
the application.
