yt-dlp builds the cookies field of each format for the url of that format and leaves out the Domain attribute when the cookie has an empty domain in its jar. Cookies imported from a browser can have one, and the jar then matches them against every url.

Store every cookie the same way and default its domain to the host of the url the cookies were built for, which makes it a host-only cookie. The port and userinfo are stripped, since neither libcurl nor lavf matches a domain that includes them. A cookie that still has no domain because the url has no http host is dropped.

This includes some cleanup of leftover implementation details of old lavf cookie option merge, removed in 6017d1f.

Fixes: #18506
