Fixes two things found while answering a question about staying logged
in across every Authelia-protected service:
1. CLAUDE.md's own "stay logged in" instructions referenced
remember_me_duration — renamed to remember_me in Authelia 4.38, this
repo pins 4.39.20. Authelia doesn't error on an unknown key, it just
silently ignores it, so following that guidance as written would have
done nothing. install_authelia() itself already uses the correct
`remember_me` key at install time (default 7d) and was never affected
— only the hand-edit instructions in the docs were stale.
2. There was no way to change it afterward without hand-editing the file,
contrary to this repo's own "no manual config editing" direction.
Added _authelia_set_remember_me() (new menu option 7): prompts for a
new duration (12h/7d/1M/1y/-1 to disable), writes it, restarts.
Tested the sed replacement against a synthetic session block before
trusting it on real config. Also documented clearly (both in the
function's own prompt and in CLAUDE.md) that this only controls
Authelia's own session — a native-OIDC app's own session/token expires
on its own separate schedule, which this setting doesn't touch.
