Track when session created/first logged in?

It doesn't seem to exist in the model currently, but I've been building a system and think it would be helpful to the user to be able to display when they created a particular session as part of the information displayed? I've seen this functionality on a few

Not sure if this would be useful to others, but it looks like it would just take the addition of a created datetime field on the custom session model.

Hi @dwasyl! That certainly looks like a nice feature and probably rather easy to add. However, I'm wondering whether it would be of interest to other users of this package as well. Is this also a feature that "big" website are using? On other websites I mostly only see something like "last activity", not when the session started.

To be honest @Bouke I took the idea from Github's session management screen. They show both a session started/logged in date an the last accessed date. For the addition of an extra created field it should be pretty low maintenance.

As a side note, and I can make this into separate issue, but I had some problems with the user agent identification code and ended up integrating user_agent directly into my application. Might be better to integrate it into django-user-sessions for improved user agent identification?
