43abcd9386 Security pass over all controller code. Mostly adding CSRF checking
and verifying user permissions, but there are several above-the-bar
changes:

1) Server add is now only available to admins.  This is a hard
   requirement because we have to limit server access (eg:
   server_add::children) to a user subset and the current permission
   model doesn't include that.  Easiest fix is to restrict to admins.
   Got rid of the server_add permission.

2) We now know check permissions at every level, which means in
   controllers AND in helpers.  This "belt and suspenders" approach will
   give us defense in depth in case we overlook it in one area.

3) We now do CSRF checking in every controller method that changes the
   code, in addition to the Forge auto-check.  Again, defense in depth
   and it makes scanning the code for security much simpler.

4) Moved Simple_Uploader_Controller::convert_filename_to_title to
   item:convert_filename_to_title

5) Fixed a bug in sending notification emails.

6) Fixed the Organize code to verify that you only have access to your
   own tasks.  In general, added permission checks to organize which had
   pretty much no validation code.

I did my best to verify every feature that I touched.

28b41056e3 Restructure things so that the application is now just another module.
Kohana makes this type of transition fairly straightforward in that
all controllers/helpers/etc are still located in the cascading
filesystem without any extra effort, except that I've temporarily
added a hack to force modules/gallery into the module path.

Rename what's left of "core" to be "application" so that it conforms
more closely to the Kohana standard (basically, just
application/config/config.php which is the minimal thing that you need
in the application directory)

There's still considerable work left to be done here.
