#5129: Saving new passwords does not require the old one

----------------------+-------------------------
 When saving a new password under
 [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/username/account|User Account
 Settings]] page, the old password is '''not''' required.

 This is very bad. A malicious party who has stolen a logged in session can
 take away access from the original user completely by changing his/her
 password.
