Bartosz Dziewoński 35edc6c2b1 SECURITY: apisandbox: Fix reflected XSS when invalid 'format' is provided
CVE-2025-6594

* Fix validation of API parameters. Follow-up to
  c36b4634e8.
* Add an extra check for parameters that should be required by the UI.
* Remove a fallback code branch that tried to display responses for
  non-pretty formats, which would have been unreachable were it not
  for the format validation bug, and which handled HTML unsafely.
