While a bit uglier, this makes it easier to deploy this to non-supporting browsers while not losing the characteristics that `__Host-` provides. Tested in web-platform-tests/wpt#54226. Relevant Cookie Store API changes in whatwg/cookiestore#286.

As discussed at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/WsXlDO6oO2E/m/ApG8wQCkAQAJ, this renames the __HostHttp- cookie prefix to make it easier to deploy before support for it becomes ubiquitous. That way, developers can rename their cookies from `__Host-something` to `__Host-Http-something` without losing their host-scope semantics.

To accompany httpwg/http-extensions#3153, this renames the __HostHttp- prefix for the cookie store, making it __Host-Http-.
This makes it easier to deploy this to non-supporting browsers while not losing the characteristics that __Host- provides.
