Re: [pgAdmin4][Patch]: To make session more secure in web mode

It is based on Flask-Login module but
1) Flask-Login will mark a user as logged out when it detects that an
existing session suddenly appears to come from a different originating IP
address or a different browser. But it is unfortunate that Flask-Login does
not enable this option by default.
2) It does not support it at all if you want to also use the browsers
"remember me" functionality.

It's just a small wrapper module to overcome above scenarios, It is not
most necessary thing to include in our project but it will improve the
session security.
