Information added how to enable in-memory cookies
processing. Cookies from server will be accepted and send
back in successive requests within same connection.
At the moment documentation only mentions how to read
cookies from the given file and how to save them to the file
using http.saveCookies.
curl / libcurl will process cookies in memory if file name
is blank. Check curl manpage:
https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-b
This is described here in more details:
https://everything.curl.dev/http/cookies/engine.html
And also explained here:

Git documentation was updated to include suggestion how to
enable this by setting empty value for http.cookieFile.

Hello Junio!
Would you be able to take a look at my commit?
It's a small update in Documentation/config/http.txt, where I wanted to
share how to enable in-memory HTTP cookies processing. It's more
curl/libcurl related thing, but worth to be known by Git users.
Regards!
