Description

@asherkin reports some issues with OAuth and 'state' cookies, which I can only guess might be 'phcid'-ovewrite related.

We can set this cookie to expire when the browser closes and decline to overwrite it with no appreciable effects on security.

Another user with SPOF-O-Matic installed (see also T3117) also hit an issue.

The phcid and phreg, and next cookies should also expire when the browser closes rather than having very long lifetimes.
