Support multiple independent ALIM sessions with DSS v2

For iTwin-enabled DSS v2, consider changing the mechanism used for managing ALIM sessions. Currently, multiple independent sessions are supported when working through UI(s), e.g. Web and Director, but not through DSS v1.

What underlying problem is this idea trying to solve?

Currently, when working via DSS v1 the Session service opens only a single ALIM session for any given user regardless of number of client apps talking to Session service. As a result, two API client apps working on behalf of the same user cannot work independently if they need to create new objects in different Scopes.

Semi work-around is through coding the apps to switch default scope before each and every DataStorage call. And it can still fail if the two apps start talking at the same time
