Every request comes with a session, a dictionary that is persisted on the filesystem and that saves various information such as the user cart on the ecommerce. When a user simply visits the website, a default session is created and saved on disk, this bloats the filestore with many sessions. Creating the session on-the-fly is cheaper than loading it from the filesystem. With this work the default session is not saved on disk anymore unless explicitly asked via `session.touch()`. An exception to the statement "creating the session on-the-fly is cheaper" is geoip, the ip geolocalization is not cheap. In this work, geoip have been moved from http_routing/request.session.geoip to a lazy property core/request.geoip. When requested the info is persisted on the session. Like other keys from the default session, geoip will not be persisted unless there is non-default stuff in the session. Because the CSRF-TOKEN is based on the session-id, it is important the session-id stays the same across multiples requests even when the session is not persisted on disk. Even when a session is not persisted on disk, the session-id cookie is still set so that the next session created on-the-fly uses the same session-id. Technical note regarding the session, it has been decided to drop the session-snapshot protocol and to reintroduce a "modified" flag. It has been decided not to use werkzeug's session (which natively comes with a "modified" flag) and to keep our own session object. We decided to extend MutableMapping instead of dict; using MutableMapping we only have to override __setitem__ and __detitem__; using dict we would had to override update()/pop()/... too.
