Odoo introduced a token on 2018-03-19, this token is
used for checking the rights.
The token itself is generated from data as a hash.
The redis_session module handle it correctly by saving it aside other
data in json format. Nevertheless, when reading it, from json format,
it forces all strings to unicode whereas some dumped string where str.
Thus it fails on comparison between str and unicode.
This fix solves it by always using token in unicode format.

The default expiration of sessions is 7 days. With healthchecks run
every few seconds, we quickly have millions of anonymous sessions in
Redis. Allow to define a custom expiration for some sessions and set a
very short one for the monitoring requests.
