ConsumeAuthId removed the entry before checking the address or the account, so
anyone landing on a live id burned it. Its owner then arrived to "unable to find
auth id" and had to start the login over -- from a packet they had no part in.
Look, then take. A mismatch leaves the id alone and yields no entry; only a
presenter that matches both the address and the account spends it.
The reason given for taking it unconditionally -- that a guessed id must not be
reusable to probe for its owner -- does not survive checking the order. The
address is compared first, so a guesser from anywhere else is rejected before a
username is ever looked at, and one from the victim's own address is already on
their network.
