DC-022: close 3 TOTP auth security holes

1. /totp/recovery-info: was PUBLIC, leaking TOTP configuration status
   to unauthenticated attackers. Now requires valid session (401 otherwise).

2. /totp/check-session: had an unconditional bypass that returned
   authenticated:true whenever totpConfig.enabled was false. This let
   anyone reach authenticated endpoints without credentials.
   Now throws AuthenticationError instead.

3. /totp/setup: was unmetered despite generating secrets. Added 3/hour
   per-IP rate limit in addition to the existing global 10/15min limiter.

All changes verified live via https://status.sami:
- recovery-info unauth → 401 [DC-110] (was 200)
- check-session no cookie → 401 TOTP protection required (was 200)
- 4th setup attempt → 429 [DC-429]
