bug#8747: 23.3.50; [PATCH] Fix a bug in url-cookie

[Leo]

I intend to install the following patch to fix a bug introduced in
revno: 78016 (2007-06-12).

In r78016, :named was not supplied to defstruct which resulted in no
url-cookie-p defined, which in turn lead to no cookies saved to
url-cookie-file. So there is little compatibility to maintain now that 4
years has passed ;)
