Refactor: VerifyCodeInput Component and Modify Access Code Validation (#212)
### TL;DR

Implemented the new `VerifyCodeInput` component and updated the access code validation logic.

### What changed?

1. Added a new reusable `VerifyCodeInput` component for verifying codes in a user-friendly way. This component handles paste events, input changes, and keyboard navigation.
2. Updated the backend route `/accesscode` to accept an arbitrary code for now. 
3. Incorporated the `VerifyCodeInput` component into the `AccessCode` page, replacing the generic `Input` component.
4. Updated the access code validation logic to check for a trimmed length of 5 characters instead of 6.
5. Added a slight pause for UX purposes when validating the access code on the frontend.

### How to test?

1. Go to the Access Code page.
2. Try entering an access code with various inputs (keyboard, paste, etc.) to see if it works seamlessly.
3. Verify that only a 5-digit code is considered valid.
4. Check the backend logs to ensure the validation endpoint is working as expected.

### Why make this change?

This change improves the user experience by providing a custom input component for access code verification and ensures that the access code validation meets the new requirements.

Feat: Access Code Authentication Flow (#211)
## What changed?

This Pull Request introduces an access code validation feature to the authentication process. Changes encompass backend route for access code validation, new frontend components for handling access code input, and integration of the access code verification in the signup flow.

### Backend:
- Added POST `/accesscode` route in `auth.ts` for validating access codes.

### Frontend:
- Created `AccessCode` component for access code input and validation.
- Added `AccessSignUp` component that integrates access code verification before signup.
- Updated `SignUp` component to check for valid access code on mount.
- Modified `SnowballAuth` to use new `AccessSignUp` instead of `SignUp`.
- Added `verifyAccessCode` utility function for code verification API call.

## How to test?
1. Run the backend and frontend projects.
2. Navigate to the signup page. You should be prompted to enter an access code.
3. Enter the code `444444` and proceed. Any other code should display an error message.
4. Verify that valid access code routes to the signup component.

## Why make this change?

This change improves authentication by adding an extra layer of security through access code verification.
