panel: __Host- session cookie and duplicate-cookie detection

Phase 14.B. The cookie already satisfied everything the __Host- prefix
requires — Secure, Path=/, no Domain — but as a promise the server makes, not
one the browser enforces. With the prefix the browser refuses to store a
same-named cookie carrying a Domain attribute, which is the second lever the
same-site neighbour from 14.A has: set selfpost_session for the parent domain,
and the browser sends two cookies of that name, oldest first. r.Cookie
returned that first one, so the admin logged in successfully and landed back
on the login form, for as long as the planted cookie lived.

The name has to stay conditional: __Host- is only valid on a Secure cookie, so
with PANEL_COOKIE_SECURE=false the browser would discard the Set-Cookie and
the dev instance would fail to log in with no visible reason. Hence the test
on that branch specifically, not just the production one.

requireAuth now reads r.Cookies() and refuses a request carrying more than one
cookie of the name, with a log line naming the cause. That is the only place
the overwrite becomes visible at all, and unlike the prefix it also works in
the dev shape. Sign-out clears both names, so the upgrade does not leave the
old cookie behind; it does sign the administrator out once, which costs
nothing given sessions live in memory and die on restart anyway.
