fix(ui): avoid repreparing pending code verifications

[jacekradko]

When the sign-in or sign-up flow rehydrates a session that already has a pending email/phone code verification, the code-entry components were calling prepare* on mount and sending the user a second OTP. This skips the initial prepare in that case while leaving the explicit "Resend code" path untouched, so users only get a new code when they ask for one.

Closes: #8463

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds deduplication logic across SignIn and SignUp verification flows to prevent re-preparing verification codes when a matching pending (unverified) verification already exists. SignInFactorOneCodeForm now detects when a pending first-factor phone code verification is present and skips automatic preparation. SignUpEmailCodeCard and SignUpPhoneCodeCard similarly detect pending email or phone code verifications and skip re-preparation in those cases. Tests validate the new behavior for both pending and expired verification states.
