#12761: Bug in cookie WP HTTP cookie parsing

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 There's a small logic bug in the WP HTTP cookie code that will result in a
 PHP error.  The code does an empty check, which is fine, but doesn't take
 into account the condition where the variable holds a string of spaces.
 To fix this I've included a small patch to rtrim() the value first,
 allowing for the empty check to work for this cases.

 I ran into this while tracking down an error for some outbound PuSHPress
 pings on {{{WordPress.com}}}.  It was triggering a PHP fatal error because
 it resulted in an empty object property trying to be referenced.
