Parse _people_search_session from entire cookie string for scraper webpage #234

Allow the user to copy the entire Cookie header string from the Directory when entering values on the scraper page.

Currently, the user has to select only the _people_search_session value, but it would be trivial to get this via code.

Bear in mind that the yaledirectory package currently requires the _people_search_session cookie specifically, so you'll either need to extract it from the string on the scraper side or update the yaledirectory package (which I own and can transfer to the Yalies org) to pass the full Cookie header.
