Filed #3155 on the build failure. This seems okay to me, but we'll need test coverage changes and a corresponding change to the Cookie Store API. And ideally they're all linked from OP for clarity. |

As discussed at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/WsXlDO6oO2E/m/ApG8wQCkAQAJ, this renames the __HostHttp- cookie prefix to make it easier to deploy before support for it becomes ubiquitous. That way, developers can rename their cookies from `__Host-something` to `__Host-Http-something` without losing their host-scope semantics.

Following discussions on Matrix, this renames the
__HostHttp-to be__Host-Http-.While a bit uglier, this makes it easier to deploy this to non-supporting browsers while not losing the characteristics that
