Bug 37893: (QA follow-up): Remove plaintext password storage from SIP2
This follow-up removes the security vulnerability of storing plaintext
passwords in the sip_accounts table. The SIP2 system now relies entirely
on Koha's secure password authentication.

Changes:
- Remove plaintext password comparison from login_core() and telnet_transport()
- Remove login_password column from sip_accounts table
- Update database schema files and atomic update
- Remove password field from API definitions and Vue form
- Update all tests to remove login_password references

Authentication now works in two stages:
1. Access control: Check if userid exists in sip_accounts (allowlist)
2. Authentication: Validate password against hash in borrowers table

This maintains SIP access control while eliminating plaintext password
storage. Staff users authenticate with their Koha password (securely hashed).

Test plan:
1. Run updated tests to verify they pass
2. Verify SIP2 authentication works with staff user credentials
3. Confirm no plaintext passwords are stored

README for Open NSIP 3M-SIP Server

DEPENDENCIES

SIPServer is written entirely in Perl, but it require these CPAN
perl modules to run:

     Net::Server - The SIP server is a Net::Server::Prefork server
     XML::LibXML
     XML::Parser
     XML::Simple - for parsing the config file
     UNIVERSAL::require - for loading the correct ILS interface module
     Clone - for running the test cases

LOGGING

SIPServer uses Koha::Logger for status and debugging messages.
