Greg Price 47b51e9329 Add endpoints to set user notification preference
Two endpoints are intended to be used by AJAX calls from the web UI with an
authenticated user. When enabled, the value of the preference is an encryption
of the username, to be used as a token for one-click unsubscribe links. The
third endpoint is the target of unsubscribe links, which displays a page with
an appropriate message to the user.

A transformation of a username to/from an opaque token
The purpose of the token is to make one-click unsubscribe links that don't
require the user to log in. To prevent users from unsubscribing other users,
we must ensure the token cannot be computed by anyone who has this
source code. The token must also be embeddable in a URL.
Thus, we take the following steps to encode (and do the inverse to decode):
1. Pad the UTF-8 encoding of the username with PKCS#7 padding to match the
AES block length
2. Generate a random AES block length initialization vector
3. Use AES-256 (with a hash of settings.SECRET_KEY as the encryption key)
in CBC mode to encrypt the username
4. Prepend the IV to the encrypted value to allow for initialization of the
decryption cipher
5. base64url encode the result
