Title: Fixed #17083 -- Allow cached based sessions to use a custom cache backend

Django currently lacks a way of using a custom cache backend in django.contrib.sessions - it always uses the default backend.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17083

This commit will default to the "sessions" backend, but will fall back to the "default" backend, this is similar to django.contrib.staticfiles behaviour.
