[Catalyst] Check session expiry without extending it

Even simpler put a refresh tag in the page with a refresh a little over the session timeout value, then the site's handler for expired sessions can do the rest.

Why not return the datetime when the session expires with every page and
have a client-side js that does the redirect without hammering the
