Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

I remember deliberately leaving these examples as they were when other CSRF docs were changed, because from the point of view the forms documentation, adding {% csrf_token %} every time becomes annoying noise. However, I think it does need to be mentioned at least once, it's difficult to know whether it should be every time.

Included the tag in the first example given with an admonition for its presence and the note that it will not be included in further examples.
