Hitas Pull Request
Description
Sometimes when a user hasn't used Hitas for a while, they get a CSRF error when submitting a form.
The frontend checks for this, and redirects the user to the login page, which will re-set the CSRF token cookie.
This will however clear the form.
This PR changes the check to open the login page in a new window or tab instead and then closes that new window or tab after login letting the user to re-submit the form without clearing it.
