Set a cookie for /admin/munin pages to grant access to Munin reports

The /admin/munin routes used the same Authorization: header logic as the other API routes, but they are browsed directly in the browser because they are handled as static pages or as a proxy to a CGI script.

This required users to enter their email username/password for HTTP basic authentication in the standard browser auth prompt, which wasn't ideal (and may leak the password in browser storage). It also stopped working when MFA was enabled for user accounts.

A token is now set in a cookie when visiting /admin/munin which is then checked in the routes that proxy the Munin pages. The cookie's lifetime is kept limited to limit the opportunity for any unknown CSRF attacks via the Munin CGI script.

@@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ Control panel:
 * After logging in, the default page is now a fast-loading welcome page rather than the slow-loading system status checks page.
 * The backup retention period option now displays for B2 backup targets.
 * The DNSSEC DS record recommendations are cleaned up and now recommend changing records that use SHA1.
+* The Munin monitoring pages no longer require a separate HTTP basic authentication login and can be used if two-factor authentication is turned on.
 * Control panel logins are now tied to a session backend that allows true logouts (rather than an encrypted cookie).
 * Failed logins no longer directly reveal whether the email address corresponds to a user account.
 * Browser dark mode now inverts the color scheme.
