Summary: cookielib LWPCookieJar and MozillaCookieJar exceptions

Initial Comment:
cookielib.LWPCookieJar and .MozillaCookieJar are
documented to raise cookielib.LoadError on attempt to
load an invalid cookies file, but do not.

I think this should be backported to the 2.4
maintenance branch.
Reason: I suspect more people will be bitten by the bug
than will be bitten by the patch, since cookies files
will rarely be invalid, so people are likely to have
written except statements based on the docs in this
case, rather than based on the actual exception that
currently occurs.
