Originally we used SHARED secret both for email and for the API. That
was a bad idea, and now that we're only using this value for one case,
I've renamed it to reflect its actual use.
After tinkering with this for about 2 hours, I'm reasonably sure this
ever worked. This feature was added by me in haste and poked by by the
occasional contributor, and it suffered from neglect.
* Removed the requirement for signature generation in favour of simply
requiring BasicAuth or a valid session id.
* Fixed a number of bugs in the form itself that would have ensured that
the form never accepted anything.
* Documented it all properly so now (hopefully) people will have less
trouble figuring it out in the future.
As per requirements.txt we are using Django version 1.10. It makes sense
to link to the documentation for that version as well.
Also, the documentation for the previous version has a notice on the top
that informs about the version being unsafe which is a bit disconcerting
when seeing it.
