1. [FIX] password_security: update password_write_date on copy …

   Sometimes users are created from a template user via a `copy()`.
   This has the issue that a password is passed via the `vals` of the copy
   and therefore never seen by the `write()` function.
   
   As a result, the `password_write_date` field is left to the value of the
   template, which is either outdated or null.
   
   A concrete bug that resulted from this is that newly created users were
   asked to renew their password on their very first login.

   This commit reapplies the same logic of the `write()` method to the
   `copy()` method as well.
   
   It also changes the unit test test_03_create_user_signup to create the
   user at some time in the past so that
   ```python
   assertNotEqual(password_write_date, created_user.password_write_date)
   ```
   makes sense.
   
   Finally it fixes the do_signup method to user the current user's
   password otherwise the password_write_date will be overwritten even when
   inputting invalid passwords
