Confirm changes automatically from the client that made them
A change made over the network answers with a one-time confirm_token and closes its connection (HTTP/2: a GOAWAY). The web UI and hc send the token straight back to /confirm, which accepts it only for the newest change, from the same user and API token, the same address, and over a new connection: proof that the client can still reach the API through the new ruleset (an established connection would get through anyway). A change that cuts its client off can't be confirmed so, and rolls back by itself. The setting manual_confirm (hc settings set --auto-confirm off) and hc --no-confirm leave confirming to a person. Changes through the local socket still need no confirmation. e2e: 136 checks, among them a lockout change rolled back without anyone confirming.
