…bis (pythonGH-137040) The "SameSite" attribute defined in RFC 6265bis [1] allows the "Strict", "Lax" and "None" enforcement modes. We already documented "Strict" and "Lax" as being valid values but "None" was missing from the list. While the RFC has not been formally approved, modern browsers support the "None" value [2, 3] thereby making sense to document it.
