Say that losing the state directory forgets the latest logout (part of #256)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

The state directory bullet in README.md and the session package doc now
say that the time of the latest logout is kept in the database, which a
restart without a persistent volume loses.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-15 logging out ends every login session (closes #256): a login session
was a cookie with nothing kept on the server, so `/logout` removed it from one
browser and a copy of it kept working for its 30 days. Every login is made
with the one signing key, so `/logout` now ends them all: the session manager
keeps the time of the latest logout, saves it in the new `logout` table so
that it outlasts a restart, and refuses a session made before it. A restart
without a persistent volume for the state directory forgets it. A `/logout`
without a valid login session, such as one another site makes a browser send
without the `SameSite=Strict` cookie, ends none and only removes the cookie. A
logout that cannot be saved answers 500. `session.NewManager`, which the tests
use, keeps logouts in memory only; pixad uses
`session.NewManagerWithDatabase`.
