cookies: first n/v pair in Set-Cookie: is the cookie, then parameters

RFC 6265 section 4.1.1 spells out that the first name/value pair in the
header is the actual cookie name and content, while the following are
the parameters.

libcurl previously had a more liberal approach which causes significant
problems when introducing new cookie parameters, like the suggested new
cookie priority draft.

The previous logic read all n/v pairs from left-to-right and the first
name used that wassn't a known parameter name would be used as the
cookie name, thus accepting "Set-Cookie: Max-Age=2; person=daniel" to be
a cookie named 'person' while an RFC 6265 compliant parser should
consider that to be a cookie named 'Max-Age' with an (unknown) parameter
'person'.
