Logging out ends every login session (closes #256)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

A login session was a cookie with nothing kept on the server, so
logging out removed it from one browser and a copy kept working for 30
days. The session manager now keeps a random value in the database,
made when it has none and replaced by each logout; a session carries
the value current at its login and is refused once it has changed. The
logout check compares no time, so the host's clock cannot block a
login, and losing the state directory ends every login session.
Logging out is now a POST with the CSRF token, sent by a form on the
generator page.
