Bug description:  session.save_path should default to $TEMP

Description:
------------
I would like to request that, much like upload_tmp_dir, PHP be changed so
that session.save_path defaults to the system's default temp directory.

The reason for this is simple; countless times, people on Windows machines
have problems with sessions because they do not set the path in php.ini.
(even with how documented it is.)  I mean - I am a developer for forum
software, and more than half of the reported installation problems are
caused by this one issue alone.

Thus, with this change, php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended could have no
path set by default, and it would work fine on both operating systems
without any changes.

I realize this is basically a dupe of bug 25574, but in that case, the
reporter misread the manual.  I am asking that it be changed to work.
