middleware: use secure cookies over secure connections

HTTP cookie spec defines secure cookies, which are transmitted only over secure
connections (HTTPS). Using them helps protect against some attacks, but cookies
shouldn't be made secure when we don't have HTTPS configured. As it is now, it's
left at user's discretion, but probably it's a good idea to force secure cookies
when they can be used.

In the current implementation, cookies are issued to users before they actually
try to log in, on the first page load. So if that happens over HTTPS, it's
probably safe to assume secure cookies can be used, and to default to normal
"insecure" cookies if HTTPS isn't available.

It's not easy to sneak into Beaker's internals, and it doesn't support selective
secureness, so we use our own wrapper around Beaker's SessionMiddleware class to
give secure cookies over HTTPS connections. Beaker's built-in mechanism for
secure cookies is forced to add the flag when needed only.
