Summary11964: token in Survey URL ignored when CAPTCHA is enabled; user must manually enter token
Description

If "Use CAPTCHA for survey access" is enabled and a user accesses the survey using a URL which contains their token, the token is ignored. The user is presented the capture form with the message "To participate in this restricted survey, you need a valid token.". They must then try to understand what a token is, find it in the URL, cut and paste it into the form. Easy for a technical user, impossible for a normal user :-).

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create survey using tokens; require CAPTCHA to access survey
  2. Send invitation to a participant
  3. Use link to survey which includes token in URL to access survey
  4. Capture page will ask for a token, ignoring token in URL
Additional Information

@LouisGac: seems you have added a function here : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/application/helpers/frontend_helper.php#L1568

But you don't send this var to view : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/application/helpers/frontend_helper.php#L1581
