New and improved Contexts API

Session cookies are now fully persisted resulting in fewer session timeouts!

What changed?

Basic & Advanced Stealth were both updated such that contexts will now persist session cookies (cookies with expires: -1). The cache that is saved from session to session has been slimmed down, decreasing the rate at which contexts grow in size with persist: true.

What results should customers see?

Primarily, this increases the lifespan of the context 🎉 Sessions created with contexts are significantly less likely to time out when you try to connect.

This also means login flows are persisted across sessions more reliably.
