d00f 3fd9cdfa7e httpd: parse the session cookie by name, not fixed offset
Root cause of the "browser login always bounces back with Wrong password!
while curl works": scan_header() read the session id from a fixed offset
into the Cookie header (p + 17), assuming "session=" is the first and only
cookie. Browsers keep stale cookies for a long time - e.g. an "admin" cookie
left over from this switch's VENDOR firmware - so the header can arrive as
"Cookie: admin=..; session=..", the fixed offset then points into the admin
value, authentication silently fails and every page bounces to login although
the password had been accepted. curl sends only "session=", which is why
command-line tests passed while a real browser (with that stale cookie) failed.

- scan_header(): scan the Cookie header for the actual "session=" key
  (matched as "session" - is_word() requires a separator after the pattern
  and '=' is on its list, the first value byte is not).
- is_word_x(): accept ';' as a terminating separator so the session value
  also matches when it is not the last cookie in the header.

Verified on hardware end-to-end in a real browser WITH the stale "admin"
cookie present: login -> index.html, all pages and JSON endpoints work.
