Subject: [PATCH] Security: Add CSRF token to API requests

- Add X-CSRFToken header to all state-changing requests (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
- Retrieve token from DOM meta tag via getCsrfToken()
- Prevent CSRF attacks on project, user, and webhook endpoints
- GET and HEAD requests unaffected (no token needed)

This frontend change requires corresponding backend CSRF validation.

Fixes: Multiple CSRF vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH (CVSS 8.1)
Related Issue: #[ISSUE_NUMBER]
