SQL Injection vulnerability

[maxrossello]

Would love to receive an example of parameters that can be used for an attack, and possibly a patch to merge.
Thank you!

In WatcherGroupsController#create, ["watcher_group"]["group_ids"] is not sanitized before being passed to the raw SQL string, so passing on ; something as ["watcher_group"]["group_ids"] to WatcherGroupsController#create will result in:

   (0.2ms)  INSERT INTO `watchers` (`user_id`, `watchable_id`, `watchable_type`) VALUES (; something, 9, 'Issue')
Mysql2::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '; something, 9, 'Issue')' at line 1: 
INSERT INTO `watchers` (`user_id`, `watchable_id`, `watchable_type`) VALUES (; something, 9, 'Issue')

This will obviously only crash the request, as you can pass arbitrary SQL to the database though this basically would allow an attacker to completely take over the Redmine data.

See #10 for a minimal fix.

Fixed on my branch, please look at https://github.com/maxrossello/redmine_watcher_groups.
Thank you
