Update the error returned when a user attempts to reset their password to the same value. The new message is clearer and more actionable. Add a dedicated unit test for this password-reuse scenario. Generated by Glean Code Writer

Previously, when a user attempted to reset their password to the same
value via the OTP flow, the error message was "New password cannot match
old password." This phrasing is slightly ambiguous — it could be read as
"new password is not able to match" rather than "new password must not
match."
Updated the message to "New password must be different from your current
password." which is clearer and more actionable.
Also added a dedicated
CannotReuseOldPasswordunit test that waspreviously missing for this specific code path.
