#9824: encode , and ; in cookie values so that browsers don't split on them
There is a small chance of backward incompatibility here, but only for
non-SimpleCookie applications reading SimpleCookie generated cookies. Even
then, any such ap is likely to be handling escaped values already, and it would
take a fairly perverse implementation of unescaping to fail to unescape these
newly escaped chars, so the risk seems minimal.

+- Issue 9824: SimpleCookie now encodes , and ; in values to cater to how
+ browsers actually parse cookies.

- Issue #5258/#10642: if site.py encounters a .pth file that generates an error,
it now prints the filename, line number, and traceback to stderr and skips
the rest of that individual file, instead of stopping processing entirely.
