fix(#338): Bind CSRF token to user session with HMAC

- Token now includes HMAC binding to session ID
- Validates session binding on verification
- Adds CSRF_SECRET configuration requirement
- Requires authentication for CSRF token endpoint
- 51 new tests covering session binding security

Security: CSRF tokens are now cryptographically tied to user sessions,
preventing token reuse across sessions and mitigating session fixation
attacks.

Token format: {random_part}:{hmac(random_part + user_id, secret)}
