On file upload, the check for CSRF tokens was already skipped
when performing user authentication.This now happens for API
tokens also.

this verify_csrf_prevention_token call was never triggered for API 
tokens before, on purpose - one of the design goals of API tokens was to 
provide stateless API access without requiring round-trips like our 
regular, ticket-based sessions do. CSRF-prevention also does not make 
much sense outside of the browser context (whereas API tokens are for 
automated access by non-browser clients).

with this change we'd now suddenly require CSRF tokens for API tokens as 
well, and IIRC API tokens can't even get one of those (and even if they 
could, none of the existing clients would know about that and could no 
longer do any non-GET requests with tokens).

I think (but I haven't tested it!) that
- setting $isUpload for the API token case as well
- leaving the CSRF check limited to regular (non-API-token) authentication

should give us the desired effect without any side-effects. the actual 
upload handling is in PVE::APIServer::AnyEvent and just seems to check 
for $isUpload in the result of auth_handler.

you're right, good catch! @Lorenz, care to send out a patch bringing it
back it shape?
