cookies: Properly handle cookie path= equal to request path

Browse Source 
The code in cookies.c would arrange that c->path would always contain
a string ending in "/".  This may have been an attempt to make it
easier to do a proper subpath check in is_path_prefix.

Howver, the overall result is wrong in the case
   Set-Cookie: ....;path=/some/thing
and then later
   http://site.example.com/some/thing

c->path gets set to "/some/thing/" which doesn't pass the test in
is_path_prefix.

The precise required algorithm is described in RFC6265 5.1.4.  The
existing code fails to implement the first of the three bulleted
conditions at the end of 5.1.4.

The trailing "/" is actually not so helpful for this.  It is more
convenient to change is_path_prefix to do subpath matching directly:
we change it to insist that the supposed path prefix is a textual
prefix of the request path, *and* that this happens at a path segment
boundary: ie at '/' or end of string.[1]

Accordingly, we no longer add "/" to the cookie path.  When we strip
the final path element we strip the "/" too.  We still insert a "/" if
the path was empty.

[1] It is not 100% clear to me what "path" (URI_PATH) is but I think
it does not include any query parameters.  If I am wrong about that
then '?' should be tolerated too.
