Adding SameSite to Antikythera.Http.SetCookie #186

Description

@sylph01

Rationale

Antikythera.Http.SetCookie lacks the option to set the SameSite attribute of Set-Cookie header, and now it is forced into using SameSite=Lax.
As my team and I came across a need to set the SameSite directive to SameSite=none (especially in combination with Antikythera.Session), I am raising this issue and proposing the addition of this functionality. This would also help gears that want to enforce SameSite=strict.

Proposed changes

  • Add same_site field to Antikythera.Http.SetCookie
    • This will be an enum that takes either :lax, :strict, or :none
    • Adding a field under the SetCookie module's field list and adding a type would do this
    • I am ready to write up a patch for this change
  • Add an interface to Antikythera.Plug.Session.load/2
    • When explicitly adding a Cookie entry, passing an optional argument to Antikythera.Conn.put_resp_cookie/4 can achieve this
    • But when used in combination with Antikythera.Plug.Session.load/2 it is not trivial, so I would like advice on how to change this
      • As of right now, I am thinking of passing options under :set_cookie key, then passing this option to make_before_send/2 (this would add an argument and thus change the signature to make_before_send/3 ) so that it can be passed onto Antikythera.Conn.put_resp_cookie/4 (now called with only 3 arguments).
