clawbot 0829f9a75d refactor: replace custom CSRF and rate-limiting with off-the-shelf libraries ...

Replace custom CSRF middleware with gorilla/csrf and custom rate-limiting
middleware with go-chi/httprate, as requested in code review.

CSRF changes:
- Replace session-based CSRF tokens with gorilla/csrf cookie-based
  double-submit pattern (HMAC-authenticated cookies)
- Keep same form field name (csrf_token) for template compatibility
- Keep same route exclusions (webhook/API routes)
- In dev mode, mark requests as plaintext HTTP to skip Referer check

Rate limiting changes:
- Replace custom token-bucket rate limiter with httprate sliding-window
  counter (per-IP, 5 POST requests/min on login endpoint)
- Remove custom IP extraction (httprate.KeyByRealIP handles
  X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, True-Client-IP)
- Remove custom cleanup goroutine (httprate manages its own state)

Kept as-is:
- SSRF prevention code (internal/delivery/ssrf.go) — application-specific
- CSRFToken() wrapper function — handlers unchanged

Updated README security section and architecture overview to reflect
library choices.
