The documentation says nothing about that you don't need the app django.contrib.sessions when using cookie-session-backend. The docs says only that you need it in some cases, and that you can remove it if you don't need sessions at all.

Documentation update is available from this branch: ​https://github.com/nmundar/django/tree/ticket_20418

Cookies-based backend keeps all the data in the cookie so it does not need to access the database. Because of that there is no need for Session table in the db that gets created when django goes through INSTALLED_APPS settings.

Revert "Improve cookie based session backend docs." refs #20418

This reverts commit d9c01da1f8ba3d4e0947fd1d619c8f4a9b013360.

This is poor advice as it breaks the test client login (refs #22934).
We can add a note like this back after refs #22986 is resolved.
