feat(api): registration auth, account creation, check-email & email notifications

- Add POST /public/check-email endpoint with rate limiting (10/min)
- Create user accounts during volunteer registration (new or returning)
- Returning volunteers authenticate with existing password
- Add password validation to VolunteerRegistrationRequest
- Normalize emails to lowercase throughout registration flow
- Handle race condition on duplicate accounts gracefully
- Create RegistrationConfirmationMail, RegistrationApprovedMail, RegistrationRejectedMail
- Wire approval/rejection emails into PersonController
- Add POST persons/{person}/reject endpoint
- Trigger TagSyncService on registration and approval
- Add CheckEmailTest, PersonApprovalEmailTest, extend VolunteerRegistrationTest
