Allow custom session lifetime expiry

[shane-smith]

For Feature Requests

Desired Feature: Allow the session lifetime to be overridden in the .env file.

Suggested Solution

Modify config/session.php

From:
'lifetime' => 120,
To:
'lifetime' => env('SESSION_LIFETIME', 120),

This then allows us to specify a custom value as SESSION_LIFETIME=123 in the environment file.

I am happy to submit a pull request sometime in the next few weeks for this. Anyone else is welcome to do it for me in the meantime if you're willing to do it sooner.
