[dart:_http] Require Cookie name and value to be valid.

This is a breaking change. https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/37192

This change makes the name and value positional optional parameters in the
Cookie class constructor mandatory by changing the signature from

  Cookie([String name, String value])

to

  Cookie(String name, String value)

The parameters were already effectively mandatory as a bug introduced in
Dart 1.3.0 (2014) meant the name and value parameters could not be null, and
any such uses already threw a noSuchMethod exception because null did not
have a length getter. As such, this is not a breaking change but adopts the
current behavior as a null name and value was already of questionable use.

Breaking change: This change adds validation to the String name and String
value setters, which had not been validating the fields at all, unlike the
constructor. This also forbids the name and value from being set to null.
That meant potentially invalid cookies could be sent to servers if the
cookie was modified after construction. This change adds the validation to
follow the rule of least surprise.

The documentation has been updated accordingly and improved a bit.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web

Dart has flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
