011687b391 Close event streams for expired sessions
When a session expires close any event streams that have been opened
with that session.  This prevents an attacker with a leaked session
cookie from opening a stream and receiving updates indefinitely without
being detected.

By sending the session the event stream is opened with when the stream
is established this closure on session expiry also serves as a way for
a user agent to be notified whenever its own access level changes.

1775fac5fd Refactor sessions to frequently rotate
In order to minimise the window of opportunity to steal a session,
automatically rotate it onto a new session on a frequent basis.  This
makes a session cookie older than the automatic rollover time less
likely to grant access and more likely to be detected.

Should a stolen session cookie get rotated while the attacker is using
it, the user will be notificed that their session has been taken the
next time they open the app if the user re-visits the website before the
session is discarded.
