Removed a confusing line from a docstring in http.cookies (GH-6482)

There's no reason a cookie should _ever_ contain pickled data. That's just asking for a critical security vulnerability. Back in Python2 there were helpers for doing that, but they're no more in Python3. Now coded_value is used when the value needs to be encoded for any reason.

This class also includes a coded_value attribute, which is used to hold
