Bug 15553 - cgisess_ files polluting the /tmp directory

When some users want to improve performance, one suggestion is to switch the
syspref "sessionstorage" to 'tmp',
which store the session info in the /tmp directory instead of the database.

Depending on the frequency of the cleaning process (or lack thereof),
this can be heavy pollution into the /tmp directory, making it unusable.
"rm cgi*" would not even work since cgi* extends to over 8000 items...

A simple fix is to modify the target directory in C4/Auth.pm to /tmp/cgisess.

Testing scenario:
1) change the syspref SessionStorage to 'tmp'
2) Log into the OPAC, validate that a file named /tmp/cgisess_(something) got
created
3) Apply the patch
4) Log into the OPAC, validate that a file /tmp/cgisess/cgisess_(something) got
created
