Automated response: Cookie Consent banner needs to use opt-in for GDPR compliance

Cookie Consent banner needs to use opt-in for GDPR compliance.

It previously only used 'inform', which means Composr always uses cookies, and the banner simply told the user such. But this violates data protection laws.

This fix ensures cookie consent has "deny" and "allow" options; and if Composr does not see the ALLOW cookie set, it assumes deny, and behaves as if cookies are not supported in the user's browser.

This also deletes the 'cookie_notice' configuration option; without prompting, Composr will always assume 'deny', so turning this off would mean Composr behaves as if every user denied cookies. It is best to prompt no matter what and get rid of this option.
