lynx-dev bug fix needs fixing

I notice a patch has appeared in
<http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/release2-8-2/patches/>, pointed to from
<http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/release/>, a while ago.

But by changing PERSISTENT_COOKIES to EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES in
LYMain (two places), this patch provokes the cookiefile name corruption
that was later fixed in the devel code.  In other words, the patch
introduces a new problem and cannot be recommended.

The patch should be updated to also include the later correction that
is in the devel code (use StrAllocCopy for LYCookieFile_flag in
reload_read_cfg).

The updated patch should also contain the change from my previous message
('passwords should not be saved').

   Klaus
