This change makes authentication failure details configurable to reduce user enumeration through error messages.
When detailed authentication errors are disabled, failed username/password authentication attempts return a generic error message in RESTHeaders.ERROR_INFO instead of exposing details such as an unknown username, invalid password, or suspended user status.
The default behavior is configured through security.authenticationError.exposeDetails and security.authenticationError.genericMessage.
