Implement session activity timeout

Previously sessions expired after session_auth_duration had elapsed
commencing from the start of the session. We new support a "rolling"
expiration where the expiration is advanced by session_auth_duration
everytime the session is accessed, this is equivalent to a inactivity
timeout. The expiration is still constrained by the credential
expiration in all cases. The session expiration behavior is
configurable based on the session_auth_duration_type.

* Reduced the default session_auth_duration from 1 hour to 20 minutes.

* Replaced the sesssion write_timestamp with the access_timestamp and
  update the access_timestamp whenever the session data is created,
  retrieved, or written.

* Modify set_session_expiration_time to handle both an inactivity
  timeout and a fixed duration.

* Introduce  KerberosSession as a mixin class to share session
  duration functionality with all classes manipulating session data
  with Kerberos auth. This is both the non-RPC login class and the RPC
  classes.

* Update make-lint to handle new classes.

* Added session_auth_duration_type config item.

* Updated default.conf.5 man page for new session_auth_duration_type item.

* Removed these unused config items: mount_xmlserver,
  mount_jsonserver, webui_assets_dir

.B session_auth_duration <time duration spec>
Specifies the length of time authentication credentials cached in the session are valid. After the duration expires credentials will be automatically reacquired. Examples are "2 hours", "1h:30m", "10 minutes", "5min, 30sec".

Specifies how the expiration of a session is computed. With \fBinactivity_timeout\fR the expiration time is advanced by the value of session_auth_duration everytime the user accesses the service. With \fBfrom_start\fR the session expiration is the start of the user's session plus the value of session_auth_duration.
