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.

Previously it was relying on running with an installed ikiwiki
and being able to copy in recentchanges.mdwn and wikiicons/ from the
underlay in /usr. The underlay in ./underlays/basewiki can't be used
(yet) because ikiwiki doesn't allow following symlinks, even from
underlays.
I'd like to make ikiwiki follow symlinks whose destinations can be
verified to be safe (for example making it willing to expose
/usr/share/javascript to the web, but not /etc/passwd), at least from
underlays, but this is security-sensitive so I'm not going to rush
into it.
Pandoc generates <tr class="header"> to hold <th> elements, and
we don't want to make those be display: block.

Otherwise, we have an authorization bypass vulnerability: rcs_preprevert
looks at what changed in the commit we are reverting, not at what would
result from reverting it now. In particular, if some files were renamed
since the commit we are reverting, a revert of changes that were within
the designated subdirectory and allowed by check_canchange() might now
affect files that are outside the designated subdirectory or disallowed
by check_canchange().

blipvert points out in [[bugs/use of $topurl in cgitemplate]] that this
variable has not been used since commit a052771
"Now that we're always using HTML5, <base href> can be relative".
