I develop new feature 'Maximum limitation of cookies'.
The current cURL keeps cookies without any restriction.
But I guess most common browsers have set limits for cookies and
unlimited is not suitable for some embeded system because it have memory limit.

So I make a new feature 'Maximum limitation of cookies'.

Specifications:
- set limit number of cookies.
 -- set limit using CURLOPT_MAXCOOKIES or CURLSHOPT_MAXCOOKIES.
 -- the value 0 means unlimited (default).
- delete if more than limit number of cookies.
 -- 1st step: delete older access time.
 -- 2nd step: delete older create time.
- delete expired cookies.
- sort by access time.

An attached patch is difference from master-f4e3cae8 of github.
And I add test case test9000, test9001 and test9001, but numbering is
not meaning.
Please switch to an appropriate test number.

Best regards,
thanks
