Allow access to cookies from netbox scripts feature

[uedvt359]

NetBox version

v3.3.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

We need to be able to access cookies from Netbox Scripts, so we can pass the Secret Store Plugin Session Key (that is stored in a cookie). Right now, we modified the utils.py copy_safe_request() function to also expose those.

         'META': meta,
+        'COOKIES': request.COOKIES,
         'POST': request.POST,
         'GET': request.GET,
         'FILES': request.FILES,

Use case

We need to store a secret from a "Create Device" Script. If the proposed patch is accepted, the following code works:

        session_key = self.request.COOKIES.get('session_key')
        sk = SessionKey.objects.get(userkey__user=self.request.user)
        master_key = sk.get_master_key(base64.b64decode(session_key))

It appears, this feature request was previously submitted as #7672, but got auto-closed due to inactivity.
