Protect attachment downloads against CSRF #4957

Reported by @thomascube on 16 Jan 2016 16:36 UTC as Trac ticket #1490642

Message attachments are downloaded via GET requests (with _download=1) and therefore can be triggered by a 3rd party site with guessed URLs and an active session in the victims browser. While this doesn't disclose any data to the attacker site, it triggers unwanted file downloads and puts load on the server as well as fills the victims disk if executed repeatedly.

We already have CSRF protection means with session-based request tokens. Requiring such tokens on download urls would add the necessary protection against these unwanted downloads.
