Issue Description:

On macOS, one can set the `isSecure` attribute of an HTTPCookie by simply having an entry for `HTTPCookiePropertyKey.secure` in the dictionary that is passed to `init(properties: [HTTPCookiePropertyKey : Any])` initialiser.

import Foundation


let attributes: [HTTPCookiePropertyKey: Any] = [
    HTTPCookiePropertyKey.name : "name",
    HTTPCookiePropertyKey.value: "value",
    HTTPCookiePropertyKey.domain: "domain",
    HTTPCookiePropertyKey.path: "path",
    HTTPCookiePropertyKey.secure: "true",
    //HTTPCookiePropertyKey.secure: "false", -- isSecure is TRUE
    //HTTPCookiePropertyKey.secure: true, -- isSecure is TRUE
    //HTTPCookiePropertyKey.secure: false, -- isSecure is TRUE
]


HTTPCookie(properties: attributes)
 

The only way to not have `isSecure` set to `true` is to not have an entry for the `HTTPCookiePropertyKey` in the dictionary.

On Linux, we have a different behaviour. There, the `isSecure` attribute is true if and only if the value if of the type String, and is not empty. It is false otherwise.
