MDL-56129 core: Set a timeout on the session cookie

This is primarily because iOS has changed something under the hood which
means that only session cookies which have an expiry are passed around the
OS.

In order to make media playable outside of the browser (e.g. a video), we
must set a session cookie timeout.

Since the session timeout is configurable, this patch sets the cookie
timeout to the session timeout plus a period of one week.

This ensures that videos continue to work, and that the expired session
message is shown on the login page, but without requiring excessively long
session times.
