[issue1564508] RFC 2965 BaseCookie does not support "$Port"

Actually, I was just bit by this. In fact, RFC 2965 prohibits clients
from sending $Port if the port attribute was not included in the
Set-Cookie header.  But, it turns out that the mono System.Net library
(at least) will add the attribute any time the URI includes a
non-default port number. See http://go-mono.com/forums/#nabble-f1367  I
think this is technically their bug, but it might be nice to have
something like a non-strict mode in Cookie.py that would ignore
unexpected attributes for handling cases like this.
