Currently Rack::Session::Cookie always sends back headers for setting session cookie even if the session did not change.

I've discussed current behavior with @rkh and @josevalim. None of them can think of a reason for such behavior. I would've asked @raggi too but he seems to be offline in irc for the past week or so.

So if there is any reason to keep this behavior around can anyone please provide it. If there is no plausible explanation I propose to set session cookie only if it did change (I already have a patch ready, so it won't be a burden on maintainers).
