FEATURE: Log in with a one-time email code (#40804)
Previously, the only passwordless way to log in by email was a one-click
magic link, enabled with `enable_local_logins_via_email`.

This change adds `enable_local_logins_via_code`, which switches that
flow to send a short one-time code instead of a link: when enabled, the
login page offers "Email me a one-time login code" in place of the link
option, and entering the emailed code logs the user in (including
through any configured second factor). A code only ever logs an
*existing* user in, and the request endpoint responds identically
whether or not the email matches an account, so it can't be used to
probe for accounts.

Signing up with a one-time code builds on this and is in #40909.
