Constructs cookies from set-cookie or set-cookie2 header string. RFC 2965 section 3.2.2 set-cookie2 syntax indicates that one header line may contain more than one cookie definitions, so this is a static utility method instead of another constructor.

should start with "set-cookie", or "set-cookie2" token; or it
should have no leading token at all. |
IllegalArgumentException
| if header string violates the cookie specification's syntax or the cookie name contains illegal characters. | |
