Echo v4.16.2 fixes Basic authentication scheme parsing and strengthens CSRF token validation, including rejecting configurations that provide no recognized token extractors.

Fixes Require a space after the case-insensitive Basic authentication scheme. Malformed schemes such as BasicX no longer invoke the credential validator. Valid credentials are still required. This adapts the v5 correction to v4's single-header API. #3188, backport of #3138, with credit to @Shubham-Padkonde. Reject empty cookie tokens and empty client tokens in CSRF validation. This is defense in depth; it does not introduce a new security advisory. #3189, backport of #3135, with credit to @hoangtaiki. Reject CSRFConfig.TokenLookup configurations that produce no recognized token extractors. Middleware creation now returns an error instead of silently skipping token validation. #3149, thanks to @orinnz; backport of the existing v5 validation in #3067.
