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.

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-09-21 validate dimensions and fit mode on the encrypted-URL
-  route and the token generator (closes #62): added a shared
-  `ValidateImageRequest` in `internal/imgcache` enforcing the
-  `MaxDimension` bound and `ValidateFitMode`, applied by both the
-  `/v1/image/` and `/v1/e/` routes, so an over-limit size or an unknown
-  fit mode is a 400 rather than an out-of-memory or a 500 from the
-  processor; the URL generator now checks every numeric form field and
-  rejects a non-numeric or out-of-range `width`, `height`, `quality`,
-  or `ttl` with a 400 naming the field instead of coercing it to `0`,
-  and `width`/`height` are bounds-checked so an unusable token cannot be
-  minted
-- 2026-09-21 http.Server hardening (closes #92): added
-  `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
-  middleware so an oversized body is refused as 413 rather than being read
-  as a missing CSRF token (403); left `WriteTimeout` at 60s unchanged
