The problem is that for big sites we can't provide a plugin that is
O(N) or even O(k) where k is the number of expired sessions.

This needs to happen in a cron job for it to be usable by everyone,
and we're thinking in that direction too.

As for creation/last hit - we have that already... __expires is when
the session should be deleted. __created is when it was created.
__updated is the last time it was written to the storage.
