New: Absorb adapt-authoring-sessions into auth module

[taylortom]

Chore

• Merge the adapt-authoring-sessions module into adapt-authoring-auth

Rationale

As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of standalone modules (see adapt-security/adapt-authoring-core#112 for prior art), adapt-authoring-sessions is a strong candidate for absorption.

The module is a single 73-line file (SessionsModule.js) that wraps express-session with a connect-mongo store. It has no standalone purpose — sessions exist solely to support the auth lifecycle, and adapt-authoring-auth already depends on it as a peer dependency.

Approach

Following the pattern established in adapt-security/adapt-authoring-core#112:

• Move SessionsModule logic into the auth module as an internal library class (not an AbstractModule subclass)
• Absorb the connect-mongo and express-session dependencies
• Merge errors.json definitions into the auth error definitions
• Merge config schemas into the auth config schema
• Merge documentation and doc plugins (jsdoc-style annotations) into auth
• Deprecate the standalone adapt-authoring-sessions package
