Description

Elaine points out that the contacts tool restores in sessions incorrectly. That tool had no session save / restore support.

Tools that have no session support should not do default save and restore.

Currently tools are required implement take_snapshot() / restore_snapshot() methods. These should not be required and omitting them should result in no session save and restore for that tool.

By default tools do not save in sessions -- has been that way for maybe a year.
