Bug Description

When a calculation is run, the owner username (the platform auth'ed user) is passed to the oq-engine-server, which is then passed back to the platform when the calculation finishes and it's time to import results from oq-engine-server into the `icebox`.

With the current implementation plan, this username will passed through code in the oq-platform client, which means that one registered user could create an annoyance by giving a calculation to another user. This should not be able to happen.

We need to come up with some way to prevent this.

One possible solution is to simply
1) require authentication in the oq-engine-server, always
2) add middleware and configuration to the oq-engine-server to delegate authentication to the oq-platform (basically, we just need use the sessions and auth tables in the oq-platform)

Icebox api method `POST /icebox/artifacts/import/` also needs authentication. Then the problem would be solved.
