Add server restart API endpoint with CSRF protection

Implement IMUPathRestartAPI endpoint that allows restarting the server
via web UI. Refactor security into SecuredAPIHandler base class with
origin validation to prevent cross-origin attacks. Add comprehensive
integration and security tests for restart functionality.
