Write a session's expiry in whole seconds
On Lua 5.3 and later a length worked out with a fraction, such as 1.5 * 24 * 60 * 60, is a float, so the signed expiry came out as 1793609024.0, which validate_value refuses, and every login failed. Max-Age took the same .0, which makes a browser ignore it.
