Public bug reported:

We should look at the best way of implementing session storage, other
than in the dataroot.  I've seen issues where sessions stored on NFS
suffer from lock issues, but we should also consider extending the
current storage mechanism to allow administrators to choose alternative
storage.

This will probably need a rewrite of auth/session.php to select
different Session classes as required.

We should probably consider:
* file (existing)
* file (to alternative location perhaps?)
* database
* memcached
