HTTPConnection: Firefox 3 stores cookies in sqlite database

Bug Description

Firefox 3 stores cookies in a sqlite database, so the common practice for authentication
    Bug.authentication = /foo/bar/cookies.txt
won't work anymore.
We need to find a way to handle this new cookie format in py-lp-bugs.

As an external workaround I attach a script written by Kees Cook to convert cookies in the new format to the old one, thanks Kees!

Proposed fix which when specifying a cookies file that ends with 'sqlite' will securely create a temporary file with the cookies extracted from sqlite, and uses cj.load() on this file. Cookies extraction based on Kees Cook's script.

I've tested this using Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 and have been able to use cookies contained in either sqlite format files or in a plain text cookie file format.
