	Some caveats:
  * it doesn't record the peer IP yet, which makes it harder to verify
    sessions are valid. This is a little annoying to do in hyper now
    (see hyperium/hyper#1410). The direct peer might not be what we want
    right now anyway because there's no TLS support yet (see #27).  In
    the meantime, the sane way to expose Moonfire NVR to the Internet is
    via a proxy server, and recording the proxy's IP is not useful.
    Maybe better to interpret a RFC 7239 Forwarded header (and/or
    the older X-Forwarded-{For,Proto} headers).
  * it doesn't ever use Secure (https-only) cookies, for a similar reason.
    It's not safe to use even with a tls proxy until this is fixed.
  * there's no "moonfire-nvr config" support for inspecting/invalidating
    sessions yet.
  * in debug builds, logging in is crazy slow. See libpasta/libpasta#9.
Some notes:
  * I removed the Javascript "no-use-before-defined" lint, as some of
    the functions form a cycle.
  * Fixed #20 along the way. I needed to add support for properly
    returning non-OK HTTP statuses to signal unauthorized and such.
  * I removed the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header support, which was
    at odds with the "SameSite=lax" in the cookie header. The "yarn
    start" method for running a local proxy server accomplishes the same
    thing as the Access-Control-Allow-Origin support in a more secure
    manner.
