Bug 1590293: Correcting inconsistencies in session expiration

1. Add some documentation to session.php explaining what
the session.gc_maxlifetime ini setting does.

2. If we can't access $CFG->session_timeout, use a timeout of
an hour instead of the PHP default of 24 minutes.

3. Limit $CFG->session_timeout to 30 days, because we're already
enforcing that limit in session.php

4. Add "usr_session.mtime" column so that we can delete old sessions
based on inactivity instead of creation date.

5. Make the cron delete old session files as soon as they've expired,
rather than padding that an additional two days.
