    Add SameSite to cookies from WebSameSiteCookies
    
    This change adds the SameSite option to RT's session cookies, with a
    default value of 'Lax', providing a reasonable amount of protection
    against CSRF attacks while still allowing most integrations of RT with
    other systems.
    
    It also provides a config option, WebSameSiteCookies to allow the value
    to be changed from the default.  Current standards allow values of
    'Strict', 'Lax', and 'None'.  Any value other than these will cause a
    warning to be logged.  Current standards also require the Secure option
    to be set on the cookie when using the 'None' value, so a warning is
    logged if 'None' is specified and WebSecureCookies isn't set.

+By default, RT's session cookie uses the "Lax" policy for SameSite,
+preventing many classes of CSRF attacks.  Other possible values are 
+"Secure", which provides additional protection but may break some
