Summary

Implements automatic cookie management for Hoppscotch desktop app, enabling seamless handling of HTTP cookies across requests with persistent storage. Cookies received from API responses are automatically captured, stored in local storage, and reused in subsequent requests to matching domains, eliminating the need for manual cookie management.

Why should this be worked on?

Currently, users need to manually copy cookies from response headers and add them to subsequent requests when testing APIs that require session management. This creates friction in testing multi-step authentication flows and session-based APIs.

#1383 only addresses manual cookie management
My feature request is for automatic cookie extraction from responses and persistence to local storage
This is different from existing functionality and addresses a real user pain point.
