login: fix incorrect CSRF rejection of "Reset Your Password" form (Issue #350)

htmlfill would remove the CSRF token from the form when substituting the query
parameters, causing password reset to break.

By default, htmlfill will clear all input fields that doesn't have a new
"default" value provided. It could be fixed by setting force_defaults to False
- see http://www.formencode.org/en/1.2-branch/modules/htmlfill.html . It could
also be fixed by providing the CSRF token in the defaults to be substituted in
the form.

Instead, refactor password_reset_confirmation to have more explicitly safe
handling of query parameters. Replace htmlfill with the usual template
variables.

The URLs are generated in kallithea/model/user.py send_reset_password_email()
and should only contain email, timestamp (integer as digit string) and a hex
token from get_reset_password_token() .

===================
Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
