feat(auth): enhance session ID generation and improve cookie handling

- Replaced the `uid-safe` library with `crypto.randomBytes` for generating session IDs, improving security and randomness.
- Updated session cookie construction to use template literals for better readability.
- Standardized cookie header parsing to use consistent quotation marks, enhancing code clarity.
