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'. Fixes #709
