Allow custom session cookie names

Branch	https://github.com/twisted/twisted/tree/custom-session-name-6933-4

Right now twisted session cookie is hardcoded.

Users wanting to use a different cookie name would need to overwrite whole t.w.s.Request.getSession() method.

Maybe we can find an API to specify the session name.

Start at t.w.s.Request.getSession(), the entry point named in the issue, and review the linked custom-session-name branch and attached diffs to understand the proposed API. Done means callers can configure a session cookie name without overriding getSession(), with existing session behavior preserved.
