doc: Document security issues involving LWP::UserAgent

Recommend the LWPx::ParanoidAgent module where appropriate.
It is particularly important for openid, since unauthenticated users
can control which URLs that plugin will contact. Conversely, it is
non-critical for blogspam, since the URL to be contacted is under
the wiki administrator's control.
