test: CSRF rejection/acceptance for POST / and POST /generate

Failing tests (TDD) for the two cookie-authenticated HTML form posts:
a POST without a CSRF token is rejected, a token that does not match the
request's CSRF cookie is rejected, and a matching cookie+token succeeds.
Login CSRF is covered specifically: the POST / cases carry no session,
so protection rests on a token bound to a pre-session cookie.

These reference production symbols not yet added (newCSRFProtect,
Handlers.CSRF, the csrfProtect field), so the package does not build
until the implementation lands.
