-c or --cookie-jar doesn't accept some cookie names #2564

Description

I did this

curl -v --cookie-jar cookies.txt https://httpbin.org/cookies/set?domain=value

I expected the following

cookies.txt to be created and contain
httpbin.org FALSE / TRUE 0 domain value

Instead I got

* skipped cookie with bad tailmatch domain: value
and no cookies.txt file. It seems curl is wrongly applying attribute semantics to the cookie's name. Note that https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-4.2.1 sets no restrictions on cookie-name
