[ClusterLabs] Login is required for now on projects.clusterlabs.org

A while back, we made tasks, commits, and source files on
projects.clusterlabs.org publicly accessible by default.

Lately we've been inundated with HTTP requests from AI crawler bots
(from many IP addresses) that ignore robots.txt. To mitigate the
effects, we've set the permissions to "All Users" for the apps that
access tasks, commits, and source files. This means that no matter
what the permissions are for any particular object, you are now
required to log in before you can view it.

It's easy to create an account, and you don't need any additional
permissions to view most things once you're logged in.

We will probably continue requiring a login to view commits and source
code. I can't think of any reason those need to be publicly visible on
projects.clusterlabs.org, since they're already visible on GitHub.

We hope to make the tasks/bug reports visible without a login again in
the future.
