fix(api): return 400 (not 500) for malformed JSON on /api/auth/login (#4031)

Wrap request.json() so a malformed/non-JSON login body returns a structured 400 instead of falling through to the 500 catch. Fixes the schemathesis high-risk-endpoint DAST finding (verified: schemathesis step now passes). +TDD test. Integrated into release/v3.8.27.
