Share Trac cookies between projects in the same environment

Description

SharedCookieAuthPlugin allows cookies to be shared between Trac instances in the same environment (i.e. directory). The plugin monkey-patches trac.web.auth.LoginModule so that cookies get set at / instead of req.base_path (though see trac:#8486 for the request to make this configurable). The incoming request is then passed by the authenticate method of the IAuthenticator interface to projects that peer the project of interest to see if the user is authenticated there. This enables single-sign on for Trac projects in the same directory.
