 Remove "special" multisite spam check in the authentication API.

 The spamming of a site no longer directly affects a user of said site.

 Moves the spam check to the wp_authenticate filter. Networks in need
 of enhanced spam-fighting should leverage this same technique.

 Allow is_user_spammy() to accept a WP_User object.

 props willnorris, brianhogg.
 fixes #24771. see #19714.
