Fixed CVE-2024-45231 -- Avoided server error on password reset when email sending fails.

Browse Source 
On successful submission of a password reset request, an email is sent
to the accounts known to the system. If sending this email fails (due to
email backend misconfiguration, service provider outage, network issues,
etc.), an attacker might exploit this by detecting which password reset
requests succeed and which ones generate a 500 error response.

Thanks to Thibaut Spriet for the report, and to Mariusz Felisiak, Adam
Johnson, and Sarah Boyce for the reviews.

CVE-2024-45231: Potential user email enumeration via response status on password reset
======================================================================================
Due to unhandled email sending failures, the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm` class allowed remote
attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and
observing the outcomes.
To mitigate this risk, exceptions occurring during password reset email sending
are now handled and logged using the :ref:`django-contrib-auth-logger` logger.
