Implement User Signup and Login Functionality

[varma-101]

Overview: This issue focuses on building the user authentication system for the application using Express.js and Passport.js. It will handle signup and login functionalities, allowing users to create accounts and authenticate via local strategy (username and password).

Goals:

Signup functionality: Allow users to register by providing a username, email, and password. Securely store passwords using bcrypt.
Login functionality: Implement login functionality that uses Passport.js for authenticating users with the local strategy (email and password).
Session Management: Use Passport.js to manage user sessions and persistent login across requests.
Technical Considerations:

Use bcrypt to hash and store passwords securely.
Implement Passport.js with the local strategy to handle email/password authentication.
Set up session management with express-session and Passport.js to handle persistent login sessions.
Create the following API routes:
POST /auth/signup: To register a new user.
POST /auth/login: To authenticate users using Passport.js and initiate a session.
GET /auth/logout: To log out a user and destroy their session.
Validate user inputs during signup to ensure strong passwords and valid email addresses.
