[Catalyst] question about Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie

[Yuval Kogman]

The name of the module implies that it provides Cookie based state
preservation for the Session module.

For compatibility with previous versions, and also because it kinda
makes sense, the default behavior is to set the cookie and the
server side storage to expire at the same time.

If the cookie has browser session based expiration then the data on
the server might disappear before the ID in the client, which kinda
sucks. The inverse is less annoying (stale data on the server) but
might be a problem for high volume sites.
