AnyEvent::HTTP and "bad" cookies

[Mons Anderson]

Hello.

I've been talking about this previously personally to Marc.

For now I've made an investigation, while using AE::HTTP as a client to 
different services, that requred much work with cookies.

Current AE::HTTP's cookie parser implementation works wrong:
* when cookie contains flag, like HttpOnly;
* when cookie contains unquoted Expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2010 23:59:59 GMT;
  (at all I see very little count of services, that quote expires)

So, for a long time I've used my own cookie parser
(http://github.com/Mons/HTTP-Easy/blob/master/lib/HTTP/Easy/Cookies/PP.pm)

For now I want to propose to include such a cookie parsing into AE::HTTP 
itself, since in the world of bad servers, and clients, that accept bad 
responses we have a little need in strict parser, that ignores them.

Proposition patch for AE::HTTP-1.45 attached
