Summary

Added new 'DCV Session Token Expiration' setting documentation with configuration options and screenshot.

Security assessment

This adds documentation for a new security feature that controls session token expiration, which is a security control for limiting session lifetime. However, there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability - it appears to be documentation for a new security feature being introduced.
