This patch modifies parsing of cookies in Asterisk's http server by doing an
explicit comparison of the "Cookie" header instead of looking at the first
6 characters to determine if the header is a cookie header. This avoids
parsing "Cookie2" headers and overwriting the previously parsed "Cookie"
header.

Note that we probably should be appending the cookies in each "Cookie"
header to the parsed results; however, while clients can send multiple
cookie headers they never really do. While this patch doesn't improve
Asterisk's behavior in that regard, it shouldn't make it any worse either.

Note that the solution in this patch was pointed out on the issue by the
issue reporter, Stuart Henderson.
