Cookie Support (#1146)

This is a very conservative and limited implementation of cookie support.

The goal is to ship an MVP, which covers 80% of the use-cases.
When you run lychee with --cookie-jar cookies.json, all cookies will be stored in cookies.json, one cookie per line.
This makes cookies easy to edit by hand if needed, although this is an advanced use-case and the API for the format is not guaranteed to be stable.

Fixes: #645, #715
Partially fixes: #1108
