Implement prepareForValidation method for NGINX

[pashdown]

Under NGINX, the customer statistics would always return to "bits" and "day" regardless of menu selections. I don't know if this problem exists under Apache. Note that I was led to this fix by claude.ai.

Longer description

In addition to the above, I have:

• ensure unit tests all run without error
• ran pslam and corrected any static analysis issues
• ensured all relevant template output is escaped to avoid XSS attached with <?= $t->ee( $data ) ?> or equivalent.
• ensured appropriate checks against user privilege / resources accessed
• API calls (particular for add/edit/delete/toggle) are not implemented with GET and use CSRF tokens to avoid CSRF attacks

Hey @pashdown - can you sign the CLA so we can merge this (after testing) please - https://docs.ixpmanager.org/latest/dev/cla/ ?

[barryo]

I'm going to close this for now, as it may already be solved via e63143f which will be part of v7.1.

Just saw this. I've signed the CLA. I'll test out 7.1 and if there is a problem, redo it.
