muxator a51684b022 security: stop setting the "io" cookie
The "io" cookie is created by socket.io, and its purpose is to offer an handle
to perform load balancing with session stickiness when the library falls back to
long polling or below.

In Etherpad's case, if an operator needs to load balance, he can use the
"express_sid" cookie, and thus "io" is of no use.

Moreover, socket.io API does not offer a way of setting the "secure" flag on it,
and thus is a liability.

Let's simply nuke it.
