Set content.cookies.accept to all by default
Setting it to no-3rdparty is a nice idea from a "privacy by default" perspective, but it also breaks various pages. In particular, due to what's probably a Qt bug, it breaks the new GMail: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71393 Let's be in line with what other browsers by default here. Fixes #4281
