Remove AutoUserMiddleware

This was having some serious effects on caching as we would always have to
access the user in the session, marking every page with a "Vary: Cookie"
header. This is the start of stamping that out. The way we get the user for
news item creation is now more similar to that from the todo lists, but not
quite. That should be adjusted to be more like the news item creation.
