Describe the enhancement requested

In order to support Flight SQL server session persistence within a server application, we are introducing DoAction messages to support handling setting and checking session parameters, as well as closing sessions (housekeeping).

Additionally, a ServerSessionMiddleware has been provided as an example or utility implementation of handling session persistence via an opaque cookie.

(Note that updates to Location have been removed as it was impossible to design them to be consistent and elegant, so clients (and *DBC drivers) will simply set the desired session options independent of a Location URI.)
