* emailauth: Fix cookie problem when user is on https and the cgiurl
uses http, by making the emailed login link use https.
* passwordauth: Use https for emailed password reset link when user
is on https.
Not entirely happy with this approach, but I don't currently see a
better one.
I have not verified that the passwordauth change fixes any problem,
other than the user getting a http link when they were using https.
The emailauth problem is verified fixed by this commit.

Due to the use/abuse of CGI::Session to generate a token for the login
process, a new session database was created for each login, and left behind
afterwards. While each file is small, with many logings this could bloat
the size of /tmp significantly. Fixed by making CGI::Session write to
/dev/null, since there does not seem to be a way to entirely prevent the
writing.

These instances of code similar to OVE-20170111-0001 are not believed
to be exploitable, because defined(), length(), setpassword(),
userinfo_set() and the binary "." operator all have prototypes that
force the relevant argument to be evaluated in scalar context. However,
using a safer idiom makes mistakes less likely.

Calling CGI::FormBuilder::field with a name argument in list context
returns zero or more user-specified values of the named field, even
if that field was not declared as supporting multiple values.
Passing the result of field as a function parameter counts as list
context. This is the same bad behaviour that is now discouraged
for CGI::param.
In this case we pass the multiple values to CGI::Session::param.
That accessor has six possible calling conventions, of which four are
documented. If an attacker passes (2*n + 1) values for the 'name'
field, for example name=a&name=b&name=c, we end up in one of the
undocumented calling conventions for param:
# equivalent to: (name => 'a', b => 'c')
$session->param('name', 'a', 'b', 'c')
and the 'b' session parameter is unexpectedly set to an
attacker-specified value.
In particular, if an attacker "bob" specifies
name=bob&name=name&name=alice, then authentication is carried out
for "bob" but the CGI::Session ends up containing {name => 'alice'},
an authentication bypass vulnerability.
This vulnerability is tracked as OVE-20170111-0001.

Some of these might be relatively expensive to dereference or result
in messages being logged, and there's no reason why a search engine
should need to index them. (In particular, we'd probably prefer search
engines to index the rendered page, not its source code.)
CGI::FormBuilder->field has behaviour similar to the CGI.pm misfeature
we avoided in f4ec7b0. Force it into scalar context where it is used
in an argument list.
This prevents two (relatively minor) commit metadata forgery
vulnerabilities:
* In the comments plugin, an attacker who was able to post a comment
could give it a user-specified author and author-URL even if the wiki
configuration did not allow for that, by crafting multiple values
to other fields.
* In the editpage plugin, an attacker who was able to edit a page
could potentially forge commit authorship by crafting multiple values
for the rcsinfo field.
The remaining plugins changed in this commit appear to have been
protected by use of explicit scalar prototypes for the called functions,
but have been changed anyway to make them more obviously correct.
In particular, checkpassword() in passwordauth has a known prototype,
so an attacker cannot trick it into treating multiple values of the
name field as being the username, password and field to check for.
OVE-20161226-0001
Technically, when the user does this, a passwordless account is created
for them. The notify mails include a login url, and once logged in that
way, the user can enter a password to get a regular account (although
one with an annoying username).
This all requires the passwordauth plugin is enabled. A future enhancement
could be to split the passwordless user concept out into a separate plugin.
The plan is to use this for accounts that are created implicitly, as when
a non-logged-in user subscribes to notifyemail. Such an account has no
password, and login can be accomplished by way of a url that is sent to
them in email.
When the user sets a password, the passwordless login token is disabled.
Everywhere that REMOTE_ADDR was used, a session object is available, so
instead use its remote_addr method.
In IkiWiki::Receive, stop setting a dummy REMOTE_ADDR.
Note that it's possible for a session cookie to be obtained using one IP
address, and then used from another IP. In this case, the first IP will now
be used. I think that should be ok.
$cgi->params('do') may not be defined. The CSRF code may delete all
cgi params. This uninitalized value was introduced when do=register
support was added recently.
Now that openiduser is in IkiWiki core, it's ok to have passwordauth check
for it, and avoid displaying useless password fields when showing
preferences for an openid.
Also improved the styling of the display of the openid in the preferneces
page.
so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
(If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)

authentication; like openid, it uses conditional to check which
forms of authentication the wiki allows. Add conditional cross-
links between the openid and passwordauth pages, to help the user
understand how they can log in.
for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
back-compat for now.
* The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
has changed so they are passed named parameters.
* Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
more interface changes before 2.0.
including out of disk space situations. ikiwiki should never leave

the user will be given an opportunity to retry.

edited.
* Move code forcing signing before edit to a new "signinedit" plugin, and
code checking for locked pages into a new "lockedit" plugin. Both are
enabled by default.
* Remove the anonok config setting. This is now implemented by a new
"anonok" plugin. Anyone with a wiki allowing anonymous edits should
change their configs to enable this new plugin.
* Add an opendiscussion plugin that allows anonymous users to edit
discussion pages, on a wiki that is otherwise wouldn't allow it.
* Lots of CGI code reorg and cleanup.
