FS#111 - Use PHP's builtin session support

The builtin session stuff, especially where shared logins are enabled, is rather kludgy.

I'd much rather use PHP's builtin session support, and eliminate PO's cobbled-together one-session-per-user nonsense.

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  -devel will become -stable for v2.34, so this is complete.

This depends on the session code being properly centralized, which is ongoing.

The session centralization is complete (2.33-rc)

-devel now uses PHP sessions exclusively; no more po-specific cookies.

There are three regressions:

* Restart of the server may wipe session information (Not much we can do about this..)
* The "shared=off" option no longer works (I intend to remove it)
* Otherwise-valid sessions aren't checked against the database to ensure the user still exists or has appropriate permissions.

Eliminated 'shared' entirely, and all old references to session_id & shared.

Migrated all preferences into the global $po_options, which is kept in the session state now.

Not all preference users (especially import-related) use the new paradigm yet..

periodic auth/pref refreshes are now performed properly.
