Safari-specific deviations fixed:

1. Safari shows its native auth dialog on fetch() calls answered with a
   401 + WWW-Authenticate challenge (e.g. save with an expired session).
   All CMS 401 responses now omit WWW-Authenticate; browsers use the styled
   /login page instead.
2. Safari caches Basic credentials and resends them automatically, which
   made logout ineffective (a navigation after logout went straight back
   into the editor). Browser navigations (GET + text/html) now authenticate
   ONLY via the session cookie; Basic Auth remains valid for non-browser
   clients (curl, API).
3. /login and redirects send Cache-Control: no-store so Safari does not
   cache the login page or the 302.

Closes MITHOME-62
