Enhancement: "Remember me" support for ServerSideSessionBackend / ClientSideSessionBackend

[Rey092]

Summary

"Remember me" checkbox during user log in is a common practice currently does not supported by implementations of ServerSideSessionBackend / ClientSideSessionBackend classes.

Basic Example

    def set_session(self, value: dict[str, Any] | DataContainerType | EmptyType) -> None:
        """Set the session in the connection's ``Scope``.

        If the :class:`SessionMiddleware <.middleware.session.base.SessionMiddleware>` is enabled, the session will be added
        to the response as a cookie header.

        Args:
            value: Dictionary or pydantic model instance for the session data.

        Returns:
            None
        """
        self.scope["session"] = value

I think the best way would be to add ability to set specific cookie params in 'set_session' method, they would be used over default ones specified in SessionAuth instance. Then add support for it for ServerSideSessionBackend / ClientSideSessionBackend.

Drawbacks and Impact

Need to be careful about backward compability but i think there should not be much of a problem.
