Dmitry S	0b1aa22ad9	(core) Ask the user some questions after they sign up and set their name. Summary: - Add a /welcome/info endpoint, to serve a page after /welcome/user - Add a new forms module to factor out the styles that feel more natural for a web form. - Simplify form submission using JSON with a BaseAPI helper. - The POST submission to /welcome/info gets added to a Grist doc, using a specialPermit grant to gain access. A failure (e.g. missing doc) is logged but does not affect the user. Test Plan: Added a test case.

Paul Fitzpatrick	bd6a54e901	(core) mitigate csrf by requiring custom header for unsafe methods Summary: For methods other than `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`, allow cookie-based authentication only if a certain custom header is present. Specifically, we check that `X-Requested-With` is set to `XMLHttpRequest`. This is somewhat arbitrary, but allows us to use https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#req.xhr. A request send from a browser that sets a custom header will prompt a preflight check, giving us a chance to check if the origin is trusted. This diff deals with getting the header in place. There will be more work to do after this: * Make sure that all important endpoints are checking origin. Skimming code, /api endpoint check origin, and some but not all others. * Add tests spot-testing origin checks. * Check on cases that authenticate differently. - Check the websocket endpoint - it can be connected to from an arbitrary site; there is per-doc access control but probably better to lock it down more. - There may be old endpoints that authenticate based on knowledge of a client id rather than cookies.

(core) Ask the user some questions after they sign up and set their name.

Summary:
- Add a /welcome/info endpoint, to serve a page after /welcome/user
- Add a new forms module to factor out the styles that feel more natural for a web form.
- Simplify form submission using JSON with a BaseAPI helper.
- The POST submission to /welcome/info gets added to a Grist doc, using a
  specialPermit grant to gain access. A failure (e.g. missing doc) is logged
  but does not affect the user.

Test Plan: Added a test case.
