feat: CSRF protection on the login and URL-generator forms (closes #93 )

Both cookie-authenticated HTML form posts (POST / and POST /generate) now require a CSRF token via gorilla/csrf, the recorded default in GO_PACKAGE_DEFAULTS.md. The token cookie is independent of the session cookie, so it also covers the login POST, where no session exists yet (login CSRF). The token key is derived from the signing key with its own HKDF salt, so tokens survive restarts and reuse no other key material; gorilla/csrf supplies crypto/rand generation and constant-time compare. The form routes sit in a chi group behind the middleware; the hidden token field is rendered into login.html and generator.html. In local plaintext HTTP mode (debug) requests are marked plaintext so the library does not demand an https Referer or set a Secure cookie the browser would withhold; in production, behind the TLS-terminating proxy, it enforces its https Referer origin check. model: claude-opus-4-8
test: CSRF rejection/acceptance for POST / and POST /generate

 A container is configured two ways. The signing key comes from the
 `PIXA_SIGNING_KEY` environment variable, which the baked-in config
 reads; if it is unset the container exits at startup naming the
 variable. Everything else uses built-in defaults, so to change any
 other setting mount your own file over `/etc/pixa/config.yml` (see
 `config.example.yml` for the full set of keys).

  `HTTPReadHeaderTimeout` (10s, bounds the slowloris header dribble) and
  `HTTPIdleTimeout` (120s, bounds keep-alive reuse) alongside the
  existing timeouts and wired them onto the server; added a `LimitBody`
  middleware capping the two form POST bodies (`POST /`, `POST /generate`)
  at `MaxFormBytes` (1 MiB) and returning 413, applied ahead of the CSRF
