Close a loophole in CookieSessionProvider

There's a crazy-small chance that someone could have a logged-out
session (e.g. by logging out or visiting a page that creates a session
despite being logged out), then the session expires, then someone else
logs in and gets the same session ID (which is about a 1 in a
quindecillion chance), then the first person comes in and picks up the
second person's session.

To avoid that, if there's no UserID cookie set (or the cookie value is
0) then indicate that the SessionInfo is for a logged-out user.

No idea if this is actually what happened in T125283, but it's worth
fixing anyway.

Bug: T125283
