* Added Revis distributed cash to enhance our Captcha Verification system so that we prevent our system from replay attacks
* Fix: There was an error with the implementation of Redis, so I reverted to our previous version that uses in memory storage
* Integrated the captcha verification system into our sign in Form. The captcha verification system now works on both login and sign int
* Remove test files from captcha module
* Update src/backend/src/modules/captcha/middleware/captcha-middleware.js

* Now the captcha can be requested on condition, this llaows extenstions to control wether a captcha should be required,
I fixed the code in CaptchaModule to use config
and got rid of the lines that made captcha middleware available since it wasn't used anywhre
* I split the middleware into two distinct parts, so that the frontend can now determine captach requirements. PuterHomePageService can set GUI parameters for captcha requirements. The /whoarewe endpoint provides captcha requirement information and the extensuo system integration is maintained
* Fix security issues with password handling in URL query parameters
* Made sure that the enter key, submits the login request instead of refreshing the captcha
* In development we can now disable the Captcha verification system by running it with CAPTCHA_ENABLED=false npm start
* Went back and modified checkCaptcha so that it checks at the start to check what CAPTCHA_ENABLED is equal to
* Refactor captcha system to use configuration values instead of environment variables
* Fix captcha verification and align with project standards
* Update src/backend/src/modules/captcha/README.md

* fix: incorrect service name
* dev: use Endpoint for captcha endpoints
Use Endpoint class, which uses eggspress behind the scenes, which handles
async errors in handlers automatically.
* dev: add extension support and simplify captcha
- removed extra error handling
- removed dormant code
- no distinction between login and signup (for now)
* clean: remove local files
* fix: undefined edge case
