Implement token system to fix CSRF vulnerabilities
Specially crafted pages can force authenticated users to unknowingly perform
actions on the AUR website despite being on an attacker's website. This
cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability applies to all POST data on
the AUR.
Implement a token system using a double submit cookie. Have a hidden form
value on every page containing POST forms. Use the newly added check_token() to
verify the token sent via POST matches the "AURSID" cookie value. Random
nature of the token limits potential for CSRF.
