Advanced session hijacking mitigation

utilizing ssl_session_id (when mod_ssl is enabled) and ip/user-agent

If a user with a valid CAS session attempts to copy another user's
cookie the existing CAS session will simply reestablish and the stolen
cookie will be invalidated.

limited to non-https connections.

In addition the isSSL function now utilizes the mod_ssl optional function ssl_is_https
