Conditionally enable double key logic according to:
private browsing mode or privacy.thirdparty.isolate preference and
implement in GetCookieStringCommon and FindCookie where it counts...
With some reservations of how to convince FindCookie users to test
condition and pass a nullptr when disabling double key logic.

     8    object directory

     9        A directory holding the output of the build system. The build

    10        system attempts to isolate all file modifications to this

    11        directory. By convention, object directories are commonly

    12        directories under the source directory prefixed with **obj-**.

    13        e.g. **obj-firefox**.

    15    mozconfig

    16        A shell script used to configure the build system.

    18    configure

    19        A generated shell script which detects the current system

    20        environment, applies a requested set of build configuration

    21        options, and writes out metadata to be consumed by the build

    22        system.

    24    config.status

    25        An executable file produced by **configure** that takes the

    26        generated build config and writes out files used to build the

    27        tree. Traditionally, config.status writes out a bunch of

    28        Makefiles.

    30    install manifest

    31        A file containing metadata describing file installation rules.

    32        A large part of the build system consists of copying files

    33        around to appropriate places. We write out special files

    34        describing the set of required operations so we can process the

    35        actions effeciently. These files are install manifests.

    37    clobber build

    38       A build performed with an initially empty object directory. All

    39       build actions must be performed.

    41    incremental build

    42       A build performed with the result of a previous build in an

    43       object directory. The build should not have to work as hard because

    44       it will be able to reuse the work from previous builds.

    46    mozinfo

    47       An API for accessing a common and limited subset of the build and

    48       run-time configuration. See :ref:`mozinfo`.
