Introduced an AbstractBaseSession model and hooks providing the option
of overriding the model class used by the session store and the session
store class used by the model.
The session record is now only created if/when the session is modified. This
prevents a potential DoS via creation of many empty session records.
This is a security fix; disclosure to follow shortly.
Previously, when logging out, the existing session was overwritten by a
new sessionid instead of deleting the session altogether.
This behavior added overhead by creating a new session record in
whichever backend was in use: db, cache, etc.
This extra session is unnecessary at the time since no session data is
meant to be preserved when explicitly logging out.
Thanks Curtis Malony and Florian Apolloner.

Fixed#21012 -- Thread-local caches, like databases.
SuspiciousOperations have been differentiated into subclasses, and
are now logged to a 'django.security.*' logger. SuspiciousOperations
that reach django.core.handlers.base.BaseHandler will now return a 400
instead of a 500.
Thanks to tiwoc for the report, and Carl Meyer and Donald Stufft
for review.
This change allows for cleaner tests: we can test the exact output.
Refs #18194: this change makes it possible to compute session expiry
dates at times other than when the session is saved.
Fixed#18458: the existence of the `modification` kwarg implies that you
must pass it to get_expiry_age/date if you call these functions outside
of a short request - response cycle (the intended use case).
The previous commit didn't work with PyLibMC.
This solution appears to be the best compromise
at this point in the 1.4 release cycle.

Catches memcached session key errors related to overly long session keys.
This is a long-standing bug, but severity was exacerbated by the addition
of cookie-backed session storage, which generates long session values. If
an installation switched from cookie-backed session store to memcached,
users would not be able to log in because of the server error from overly
long memcached keys.

This also removes the implicit initialization of the session key on the first access in favor of explicit initialization.
