[Bug 775294] [NEW] Set lifetime for input forms

[Tokio Kikuchi]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Private security bug reported:

We may have to set lifetime for input forms because of recent activities
on cross-site request forgery (CSRF).  The form lifetime is successfully
deployed in frameworks like web.py or plone etc.  Proposed branch
lp:~tkikuchi/mailman/form-lifetime implement lifetime in admin, admindb,
options and edithtml interfaces.  Other forms like create and rmlist
have confirmation by password thus are safe regarding CSRF.  The form
generation time is set by a hidden parameter whose value is calculated
following the mailman cookie algorithm.  The default lifetime is set 1
hour in Default.py thus configurable by a site administrator.  If a
password is set in request, authorization cookie is discarded so the
password authentication is forced.  Wget tricks to manage list in FAQ
can be used as they are now.
