[TYPO3-core] RFC #15334: Feature: Allow separate cookie domain for FE and BE

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi Francois,

you can have a regexp as a cookie-domain, isn't that enough to define
several valid cookie domains?

   $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['cookieDomain'] = '/^(domainFE|domainBE)$/';

If the user accesses through one of the matched domains, it is set as
the cookie domain for his session.

Cheers,
Ernesto
