Problem/Motivation

When Auto Logout is enabled, custom session variables are deleted for logged in users only.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable auto log out
  2. When logged in, set a session variable (see below)
  3. Check the session variable during a separate request (see below)

Set a session variable

$session = \Drupal::request()->getSession();   
$session->set('my_module.my_variable', 'Test data');

Check session variable

$session = \Drupal::request()->getSession();   
if (!$session->has('my_module.my_variable')) {
  \Drupal::logger('my_module')->notice('Found session variable.');
}
else {
  \Drupal::logger('my_module')->notice('Session variable not found.');
}

    I can't reproduce the issue with the updated code (session done via requestStack and current session). I also think the solution could possible cause issues when JS triggers the request as it returns nothing basically and skips the whole sessions set up. Leaving to needs review with the rebased MR, so somebody else can confirm if solution is still needed.
