[Cosmo-dev] CosmoCred cookie being sent on wire

While crusing the logs on hub.chandlerproject.org, I noted that the 
"CosmoCred" cookie is being sent to the server.  The contents of this 
cookie are security-sensitive (contains the unencrypted password), and 
thus is a security risk in certain situations.

I've filed a bug:

   https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9149

to which I've attached a proposed patch.

I am not planning to update our production servers with this change, but 
it's a must-have for Cosmo 0.7 and a should-have if any Cosmo 0.6.1.1 is 
released.
