Session Regeneration

Session regeneration generates a new session id when the customer logs in or creates an account.

This contribution eliminates problems with sessions recorded by spiders as the identifier is recreated for visitors during the login/create-account process. It also eliminates problems with duplicate sessions being used by different customers simply because everytime someone logins to his account the session ID changes while the cart contents are preserved.
