feat(authentik): fall back to password when no passkey is enrolled

The passkey apps were reachable only with a WebAuthn credential:
passkey-passwordless-authentication denies at its validation stage, and
passkey-stepup-authorization demands a passkey on every authorize. An
account with no passkey had no way in.

Branch both flows on enrollment with an expression policy,
passkey-user-has-webauthn. Enrolled accounts keep the mandatory passkey
at login and at every authorize. Accounts without one skip the WebAuthn
stage and get default-authentication-password followed by
default-authentication-mfa-validation — the same pair, in the same
order, that default-authentication-flow already runs, so the fallback is
not a weaker way in than auth.renner.uno's own login.

The policy runs against pending_user, so the branch follows the
identified account's enrollment and is not selectable by the requester.
Bindings keep evaluate_on_plan false and re_evaluate_policies true;
on-plan evaluation would run before a user is resolved.

The negated bindings carry failure_result: true. UserLoginStage defaults
a missing authentication backend to BACKEND_INBUILT rather than
refusing, so a flow that dropped both branches would log the user in on
a username alone. A PolicyException resolves to failure_result before
negate is applied, so a broken expression degrades to password + MFA
instead of to no factor.
