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 trusted-proxy client IP resolution (closes #94): a
-  `trusted_proxies` config key taking a list of CIDRs, parsed by the same
-  `net/netip` list parser as `blocked_networks` (an invalid entry aborts
-  startup naming the key and value; omitted or empty trusts no one); a new
-  `internal/clientip` package resolves the client address by honoring
-  `X-Forwarded-For` only when the direct peer is a trusted proxy, walking
-  the chain right-to-left to the rightmost non-proxy entry, so a client
-  connecting directly cannot spoof its address; the resolved address is
-  stored in the request context by a new middleware and used by the
-  request-logging middleware and the login-attempt logs in place of the
-  raw peer address; documented in `README.md` and `config.example.yml`.
-- 2026-09-21 blocked networks configuration extending SSRF protection: a
-  `blocked_networks` config key taking a list of CIDRs (parsed with
-  `net/netip`, an invalid entry aborts startup naming the key and value),
-  added to the built-in blocklist rather than replacing it; the built-in
-  ranges extended to CGNAT `100.64.0.0/10`, IETF protocol assignments
-  `192.0.0.0/24`, benchmark `198.18.0.0/15`, and NAT64 `64:ff9b::/96`
-  (IPv4-mapped forms covered); enforcement stays in the dial-time
-  re-resolution so the DNS-rebinding window remains closed; documented in
-  `README.md` and `config.example.yml`.
-- 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
 - 2026-08-07 update golangci-lint to v2.12.2 with the canonical
   `.golangci.yml` (v2 schema, `default: all` minus six disabled
   linters, `lll` 88, tests included): bumped the pinned
