[Aaron Wells <1428918@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After much investigation I'm not sure of the precise cause of this
problem, except that it's caused by calling session_write_close()
repeatedly during CLI execution of the install script by Behat. Running
the install script normally, doesn't cause this problem. And doing the
install through the web interface instead of CLI, also doesn't cause
this problem.

Since the CLI interface doesn't actually generate and use sessions
anyway, the easiest fix is just to make the functions in our Session
class short-circuit if you're running in CLI.
