High availability applications

If you like to use this driver in high load applications, watch garbage collection that can be a bottleneck.

Modify config.sessions.lottery value to set how often garbage collection should happen, and app.yaml SESSION_GC_BATCH_SIZE to define garbage collection batch size.

If extremal cases do manual garbage collection from cron job, or shift to cookie driver.
