Hi all,
This RFC changes default session settings and introduces a new
setting that disables possible timing attack against session ID. All
of them help to improve general session ID security except
hash_bits_per_character change.
NIST discourages use of SHA-1 years ago. It proposes to use
SHA-256 as the default hash function for session. To reduce
size of session ID string, hash_bits_per_character=6 is proposed.

Thank you for voting!
P.S. Although, the change is trivial, if anyone would like to see
patch for this, I'll prepare one ASAP.
