[Bug 1356113] Re: PHP5 session clean cron job causes OOM

[Steve Kamerman]

I prefer option #1 - sourcing the sessionclean scripts from
/usr/lib/php5/sapi/* or perhaps /usr/lib/php5/sapi/<sapi>/sessionclean
so we can make room for more sapi-specific scripts should the need
arise.

If we keep the logic in php-common, a con is that we can't use it for HHVM (not that HHVM should drive the decision).
A pro for this method is that we can have /usr/lib/php5/sapi/<sapi>/sessionconfig scripts that simply spit out the params we need, then we feed them into the sessionclean script as you've described (sort of like /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime is used now)
Another pro for this method is that we can optimize cleanup by de-duplicating the session.save_paths and using max(session.gc_maxlifetime).
