3d01febcf7 api keys: require reauthentication when working with API keys.
Require the user to re-enter their password before they can view,
create, update, or delete their API keys.

This works by tracking the timestamp of the user's last password
re-entry in a `last_authenticated_at` session cookie, and redirecting
the user to a password confirmation page if they haven't re-entered
their password in the last hour.

This is modeled after Github's Sudo mode.

25fda1ecc2 api keys: add IP whitelist and API permission system.
Add the ability to restrict API keys so that they can only be used with
certain IP addresses or certain API endpoints.

Restricting your key is useful to limit damage in case it gets leaked or
stolen. For example, if your key is on a remote server and it gets
hacked, or if you accidentally check-in your key to Github.

Restricting your key's API permissions is useful if a third-party app or
script wants your key, but you don't want to give full access to your
account.

If you're an app or userscript developer, and your app needs an API key
from the user, you should only request a key with the minimum
permissions needed by your app.

If you have a privileged account, and you have scripts running under
your account, you are highly encouraged to restrict your key to limit
damage in case your key gets leaked or stolen.
