Allow GraphQL requests without CSRF token

With this we allow authentication using a session or using personal
access token.

Authentication using a session, and CSRF token makes it easy to play
with GraphQL from the Graphiql endpoint we expose.

But we cannot enforce CSRF validity, otherwise authentication for
regular API clients would fail when they use personal access tokens to
authenticate.
