43e58ac865 CVE-2018-10895: Fix CSRF issues with qute://settings/set URL
In ffc29ee043 (part of v1.0.0), a
qute://settings/set URL was added to change settings.

Contrary to what I apparently believed at the time, it *is* possible for
websites to access `qute://*` URLs (i.e., neither QtWebKit nor QtWebEngine
prohibit such requests, other than the usual cross-origin rules).

In other words, this means a website can e.g. have an `<img>` tag which loads a
`qute://settings/set` URL, which then sets `editor.command` to a bash script.
The result of that is arbitrary code execution.

Fixes #4060
See #2332
