Setting this attribute on a cookie marks it as non-cross-site, so it
is only send in requests to our own server. It is reasonable that no
one else should need our session or csrf data. Setting it explicitly
also prevents any issues from the ongoing change in browser behaviour [0]
when it is unset.
Seasurf supports the SameSite attribute starting with v0.3. As nothing
obviously broke, I used the opportunity and updated all the way to the
most recent version.
The SeaSurf default for SameSite is already `Lax`, so it only needs to
be set for the session cookie.

Setting these two options to True is recommended if (and only if) you
serve PDA via TLS. It will break things on plain-HTTP deployments.
For plain deployments these can be set in the flask config file, for
docker they have to be whitelisted to be set via env vars.
* Fix typo in managing user account membership with SAML assertion
* Support more config options from Docker env.
* Improve support for SAML key and cert from Docker secrets

This allows for easy setup with no extra configuration.
Also update docs to reflect the new and easy way to run PowerDNS-Admin.

Enhancements:
- More robust check when creating self-signed certificates
- Added support for SAML Requested Attributes through "SAML_SP_REQUESTED_ATTRIBUTES" parameter
Problems resolved:
- Method create_self_signed_cert() was invoked nowhere. This puts parameter "SAML_SIGN_REQUEST" description in configs/development.py as incorrect
- Method create_self_signed_cert() was returning error while trying to write out certificate and private key. File handler was opened for writing out TEXT instead of BINARY data
Enhancements:
- Two new parameters are introduced SAML_CERT_FILE and SAML_KEY_FILE. User can now explicitly define own certificate and key file anywhere on file-system.
- If parameters mentioned in previous bullet aren't explicitly defined, in PowerDNS-Admin root directory self-signed certificate will be created.
- Certificates will be used or generated in any case, because in saml.py there are explicit parameters defined which require certificate/key in order to work normally. If they aren't, exception will be thrown. Examples of parameters defined in saml.py requiring certificate: wantAssertionsEncrypted, signMetadata, wantAssertionsSigned.
