Fix password complexity regex for special characters (backport for v1.10.0) (#8524)

* Fix extra space

* Fix regular expression

* Fix error template name

* Simplify check code, fix default values, add test

* Fix router tests

* Fix fmt

* Fix setting and lint

* Move cleaning up code to test, improve comments

* Tidy up variable declaration
