Bug description:$_SERVER holds unrelated client stuff

Description:
------------
http://websec.io/2012/08/11/Can%27t-Trust-the-$_SERVER.html

The superglobal $_SERVER contains unrelated stuff such as
HTTP_USER_AGENT and HTTP_REFERER which are from the client and set by
the client, not the server.

These ought to be stripped out and moved into a new superglobal called
$_CLIENT.
