web: don't write a session file at startup
The .hledger-web_client_session_key.aes file written at startup is cluttersome and means hledger-web can only be started from a writable directory. What do we lose if I disable it ? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yesod-core-1.4.33/docs/Yesod-Core.html#v:makeSessionBackend says "Default: Uses clientsession with a 2 hour timeout." http://hackage.haskell.org/package/clientsession-0.9.1.2 says "Securely store session data in a client-side cookie." I think: hledger-web saves (eg) the state of the sidebar as session data, in a cookie, and my web browser saves that locally. And this still seems to work, across server restarts. So what's the purpose of saving this "client session" file on the server ? Let's disable it and find out.
