Setting and clearing cookies for a virtual user

The SetCookieFixedValue class sets a Cookie, defined in the newCookie variable, for a virtual user just as if the server had returned a Set-Cookie.

The ClearCookies class clears all Cookies for a virtual user. For information on how cookies are treated in tests and schedules, seeHow loops affect the state of virtual users.
