Sync: Add HTTP Cookie File header on temporary cookie file

The .gitcookies file generated by googlesource.com does not have
the header:

 # (Netscape) HTTP Cookie File

which causes python's MozillaCookieJar.load to fail with the
error:

 "does not look like a Netscape format cookies file"

Prepend the expected header onto the generated cookie file.

We don't bother to check if the header already exists on the
file; repeating it does not cause any problem.
