Description
As it stands currently, the goth package forces cookies under a specific name. This is fine when working with one http service and/or routing handler, however if one is developing multiple http services locally, or registering multiple independent goth configurations, the inability to override this value means that each configuration will overwrite eachother. I suspect simply changing this from a const to a var will be backwards compatible (though not the most ideal, global package variables).

Research direction
Start at the goth.SessionName declaration and trace where the package uses it for cookies. Check whether making this value configurable preserves the existing default and prevents independent configurations from overwriting each other; done means callers can override the name without breaking current behavior.
