Better Exception Message for users.xml Loading Error Due to Bad Password Hash

Better exception message when users.xml cannot be loaded due to bad password hash. This closes #24126. #31557 (Vitaly Baranov).
Improved exception message for users.xml loading failures due to incorrect password hash.

Why it matters

This feature enhances the error reporting when the users.xml file cannot be loaded because of a bad password hash. It helps users quickly identify authentication configuration issues and reduces troubleshooting time.

How to use it

No user action is required to enable this feature. When a password hash in users.xml is incorrect, ClickHouse will display a clearer and more informative exception message during startup or user configuration reload.
