Fixed #20922 -- Allowed customizing the serializer used by contrib.sessions 

Added settings.SESSION_SERIALIZER which is the import path of a serializer
to use for sessions.

Thanks apollo13, carljm, shaib, akaariai, charettes, and dstufft for reviews.

Default session serialization switched to JSON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Historically, :mod:`django.contrib.sessions` used :mod:`pickle` to serialize
session data before storing it in the backend. If you're using the :ref:`signed
cookie session backend<cookie-session-backend>` and :setting:`SECRET_KEY` is
known by an attacker, the attacker could insert a string into his session
which, when unpickled, executes arbitrary code on the server. The technique for
doing so is simple and easily available on the internet. Although the cookie
session storage signs the cookie-stored data to prevent tampering, a
:setting:`SECRET_KEY` leak immediately escalates to a remote code execution
vulnerability.
This attack can be mitigated by serializing session data using JSON rather
than :mod:`pickle`. To facilitate this, Django 1.5.3 introduced a new setting,
:setting:`SESSION_SERIALIZER`, to customize the session serialization format.
For backwards compatibility, this setting defaulted to using :mod:`pickle`
in Django 1.5.3, but we've changed the default to JSON in 1.6. If you upgrade
and switch from pickle to JSON, sessions created before the upgrade will be
lost. While JSON serialization does not support all Python objects like
:mod:`pickle` does, we highly recommend using JSON-serialized sessions. See the
:ref:`session_serialization` documentation for more details.

Session serialization
---------------------
.. versionchanged:: 1.6
Before version 1.6, Django defaulted to using :mod:`pickle` to serialize
session data before storing it in the backend. If you're using the :ref:`signed
cookie session backend<cookie-session-backend>` and :setting:`SECRET_KEY` is
known by an attacker, the attacker could insert a string into his session
which, when unpickled, executes arbitrary code on the server. The technique for
doing so is simple and easily available on the internet. Although the cookie
session storage signs the cookie-stored data to prevent tampering, a
:setting:`SECRET_KEY` leak immediately escalates to a remote code execution
vulnerability.
This attack can be mitigated by serializing session data using JSON rather
than :mod:`pickle`. To facilitate this, Django 1.5.3 introduced a new setting,
:setting:`SESSION_SERIALIZER`, to customize the session serialization format.
For backwards compatibility, this setting defaults to
using :class:`django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer` in
Django 1.5.x, but, for security hardening, defaults to
:class:`django.contrib.sessions.serializers.JSONSerializer` in Django 1.6.
Even with the caveats described in :ref:`custom-serializers`, we highly
recommend sticking with JSON serialization *especially if you are using the
cookie backend*.
Bundled Serializers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. class:: serializers.JSONSerializer
A wrapper around the JSON serializer from :mod:`django.core.signing`. Can
only serialize basic data types. See the :ref:`custom-serializers` section
for more details.
.. class:: serializers.PickleSerializer
Supports arbitrary Python objects, but, as described above, can lead to a
remote code execution vulnerability if :setting:`SECRET_KEY` becomes known
by an attacker.
.. _custom-serializers:
Write Your Own Serializer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note that unlike :class:`~django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer`,
the :class:`~django.contrib.sessions.serializers.JSONSerializer` cannot handle
arbitrary Python data types. As is often the case, there is a trade-off between
convenience and security. If you wish to store more advanced data types
including ``datetime`` and ``Decimal`` in JSON backed sessions, you will need
to write a custom serializer (or convert such values to a JSON serializable
object before storing them in ``request.session``). While serializing these
values is fairly straightforward
(``django.core.serializers.json.DateTimeAwareJSONEncoder`` may be helpful),
writing a decoder that can reliably get back the same thing that you put in is
more fragile. For example, you run the risk of returning a ``datetime`` that
was actually a string that just happened to be in the same format chosen for
``datetime``\s).
Your serializer class must implement two methods,
``dumps(self, obj)`` and ``loads(self, data)``, to serialize and deserialize
the dictionary of session data, respectively.
