Add TTL Config Item

[dougblackjr]

Currently, sessions are hardcoded at 2 hours for a front end session and 1 hour for a CP session. This stops use cases where these should be extended or shortened.

Adding a

In /system/ee/legacy/libraries/Session.php, we can change:

public $user_session_len = 7200;  // User sessions expire in two hours
public $cpan_session_len = 3600;  // Admin sessions expire in one hour

to

public $user_session_len = ee()->config->item('user_session_len') ? ee()->config->item('user_session_len') : 7200;
public $cpan_session_len = ee()->config->item('cpan_session_len') ? ee()->config->item('cpan_session_len') : 3600;

Happy to help on this!

I think this is worth doing.

There is a an option for expire_session_on_browser_close but it's not clear what this does to session length if anything. If this setting is supposed to make session length infinite then the docs should be rewritten to reflect that.
