import: do not allow importing into a pad from the web UI if the user is not on that pad

Importing to a pad is allowed only if an author has a session estabilished and
has already contributed to that specific pad. This means that as long as the
user is on the pad (via the browser) then import is possible.

Note that an author session is NOT the same as a group session, which is not
required.

This setting does not apply to API requests, only to /p/$PAD$/import

This change of behaviour is introduced in Etherpad 1.8.3, and cannot be
disabled.
