Description
JRE nightly build :http://rehudson.sfbay.sun.com:8080/hudson/view/deploy/job/jdk8_deploy-3-postbuild-windows-i586/ws/bundles/windows-i586/latest/

It has been noticed that JSObject API  JSObject.getWindow(this).getMember("document").getMember("cookie") is not able to read cookies properly on IE browser. No such issue noticed on FF and chrome browser
This is regression in behavior as far as IE browser is concerned

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install jre8 nightly build from above mentioned location
2) Run following applet
http://nicole1.us.oracle.com:8080/plugin_tests/Cookies/Cookies/html/sop/CookieGetSet.html
3) If "MyTest" cookie is not listed inside text area (last line) "cookies found using JSObject browser API: " then bug is reproduced
verified with build b255-94

problem is caused by changing to use InternetSetCookieEx.

7077220: Plugin CookieHandler ignores HttpOnly cookies

Also, the test will only pass even with the above fix backed out on XP and win7 running as admin.

windows cookies API works differently under different permission mode.  Also, the parameters we passed to the API causes difference too.

We need to revisit this in more details in a new CR.

For now, we will back out fix of 7077220.
