Summary: cookie.c may leak memory

Initial Comment:
version 7.19.5, 7.19.4

Valgrind hinted me to memory leaks in lib/cookie.c with my application.
The appended patch stuffed them for me.

Thanks, I did that and committed this fix just now. If you tell me your
full name I'll give you the proper credit for this find in the changelog
etc.

Message:
Thanks, this helps as well.
I suggest changing the type of the second argument of strstore() to const
char * to get rid of those compiler warnings.

Message:
Well, the cookies are set manually so they may not be well formed. Ii.e.
they come from javascript, not http, so they may not be well formed. My
application just passes them to libcurl without validation. Indeed there
are sometimes doubled path and/or domain parts in them.

Assuming that was the case, can you give me your opinion on my suggested
fix for this as I just attached here?

Message:
oh, do you by any chance receive cookies with multiple domain and path
properties? Or how did you end up with a leak for these?
