fix(auth): widen the 0078 backfill so revoke victims who verified are rescued too

Review found the backfill's fourth predicate `AND email_verified = false` strands
exactly the subset that needs it most. The revoke does not invalidate the account's
outstanding verification token, so clicking the emailed link is the natural next
thing such a user does — and it sets email_verified=True while password_hash stays
NULL. That row then has no route back at all: reset ineligible, resend refuses an
already-verified address, set-password needs a session the account cannot obtain,
and nothing re-stamps it because the revoke itself is guarded on being unverified.

The remaining three predicates already pin the victim set exactly: registration and
the setup wizard always set a hash, every Google row carries a google_sub (adoption
assigns it before revoking), and nothing in the codebase ever clears google_sub — so
a local, non-demo, passwordless row can only have come from the revoke. Widening is
therefore safe, and it is the argument the docstring was already making while the
SQL contradicted it.

Also corrects that docstring: set-password is unreachable because the account cannot
authenticate at all, not because the epoch bump killed a session — an unverified
account is refused at login before a session is ever minted, so it never had one.

Deliberately NOT also requiring `email_verified = false`, even though the revoke only fires on an
unverified account: verifying is exactly what such a victim does NEXT. The revoke does not invalidate
the outstanding verification token, so clicking the emailed link sets email_verified=True while
password_hash stays NULL — and that row has no route back at all (reset ineligible, resend refuses an
already-verified address, and set-password needs a signed-in session the account can no longer obtain:
no password to sign in with, and no Google identity). Those are the victims who most need the stamp,
so the predicate must not exclude them.
