#18307: Settings cookies mixed with WP installations on main domain and subdomains

 I have WP website installed on main domain, and another WP installation on
 subdomain. These two share users tables.

 When I rearrange admin dashboard widgets, or post editor widgets in one
 installation, other one uses same settings making the mess due to
 differences in available elements (different plugins installed).

 All WP settings cookies are saved without proper setting of the cookie
 path/domain, and all sub-domains use same cookies as the main domain does.
 Cookies have to have full domain set to avoid mix-up like it happens now.

 Same issue happens with Opera, Chrome and Firefox.
