Simple cookie-based session middleware.
View counter example:
```js
var session = require('cookie-session');
var connect = require('connect');
var app = connect();
app.use(session({
keys: ['a', 'b']
}));
app.use(session());
app.use(function (req, res, next){
var n = req.session.views || 0;
req.session.views = ++n;
res.end(n + ' views');
})
app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');
```
This module provides "guest" sessions, meaning any visitor will have a session,
authenticated or not. If a session is _new_ a Set-Cookie will be produced regardless
of populating the session.
The cookie name is controlled by the `key` option, which defaults
to "express:sess". All other options are passed to `cookies.get()` and
`cookies.set()` allowing you to control security, domain, path,
and signing among other settings.

Returns __true__ if the session is new.
To destroy a session simply set it to `null`:
```js
req.session = null;
```
