Bug 11369 - Too many search cursor cookies overflow HTTP-header size, when
making multiple searches in the staff client.

To replicate this issue, make multiple searches in catalogue/search.pl.
50+ Should be enough to cause the HTTP-request header to overgrow.
One can verify this issue by observing the searchCookie growth in
browser's stored cookies.

-------------
- TEST PLAN -
-------------

Keep making searches.
One should never have more than 10 searchCookies. Browser might display only 9,
because for some reason the newest js-generated cookie is not included in
Firefox's cookies listing.

------------
- DRAWBACK -
------------

Removing these cookies disables the search cursor for traversing search
results (next/previous) for the removed cookie. This maybe be problematic
in some cases,
(for ex when multiple search tabs need to be open and they need to be
traversed)
One easy solution is to grow the amount of stored searchCookies from 10 to 20,
but 10 is chosen so there will be plenty of room for other cookies as well.
