[MINOR] set the expiration date when removing a cookie

It was specified in the documentation that a cookie would be deleted if the
client was switched to a cookie-less server such as a backup server, in
order to avoid stickyness on errors. To achieve this, an empty cookie was
returned. It seems this no longer works (at least with Firefox 1.5 and
Mozilla 1.8a5), because the browser returns the empty cookie. The cookie
specification says that in order to remove a cookie, it must be accompanied
by an expiration date in the past, so this is what we do. Tested on Mozilla
1.8a5, works.
