Add support for absolute SSO session timeout

Description

We have need for a session expiration policy that is absolute instead of sliding window. For example, given a setting of idp.session.timeout = PT2H, the SSO session would expire in 2 hours regardless of session activity.

Session subpage sounds good.

Probably the best top level place for now, but you might want to create a subpage for it like I did with the method selection material to avoid cluttering it too much. A page on session behavior in general would be good.

Resolved as invalid. No features are required to accommodate the security policy we need.

Thanks for the ping. I have been able to accommodate our security policy requirements using the configuration strategy you suggested. I would like to contribute some documentation to the IDP30 wiki that discusses IdP session semantics w/r/t authentication results and provide at least one example. I will add to https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/AuthenticationConfiguration unless you have a better suggestion.

Marvin, you can close once you confirm nothing new is needed here.
