Since we do no longer URL decode cookie names[1], we must not URL
encode the session name. We need to prevent broken Set-Cookie headers,
by rejecting names which contain invalid characters.

I should note that according to RFC 6265, section 4.1.1, the cookie-name is supposed to be a token, which excludes more characters than we are checking for.

Also, apparently only having an --EXPECTHEADERS-- section causes the test to be recognized as being borked; thus I added an empty --EXPECT-- section.

This seems in line with how we treat cookie names elsewhere.
