Remove session.referer_check (Bug 1566366)

This setting kills your Mahara session whenever you navigate
to Mahara from a link or redirect on another page. This totally
prevents SAML and other redirect-based auth methods from working,
makes it annoying to use links in email, and while it is mentioned
on the PHP manual's "Securing Sessions" page, it's only
recommended there if you also have "session.use_trans_id" enabled,
which we do not.
