net/http: add Cookie.Valid method

The (*http.Cookie).String method used by SetCookie will silently discard
or sanitize any fields it deems invalid, making it difficult to tell
whether a cookie will be sent as expected.

This change introduces a new (*http.Cookie).Valid method which may be
used to check if any cookie fields will be discarded or sanitized prior
to calling (*http.Cookie).String.

Fixes #46370
