Subject: [PATCH] Revert URL param encoding for trusted values, fix credential
 exposure

- Revert --data-urlencode changes for edit_msg, comment, and
  multiwiki_category since these are trusted values (hardcoded defaults
  or operator-supplied via CLI). Add comments documenting the trust
  assumption at each site.

- Fix credential exposure in mw-login: write WIKI_API_USER_PASS to a
  temp file and use curl's --data-urlencode "lgpassword@<file>" syntax
  so the password no longer appears in /proc/PID/cmdline (visible via
  ps). The temp file is created with umask 077 (set in common) and
  cleaned up after use.
