inets/httpc: Polish documentation
* Assure store_cookies (and verify_cookies) is documented instead of the
nonexistent store_cookie and verify_cookie.
* Make sure the cookies option is not called cookie in comments.
* Sprinkle <c>...</c> arround symbols and code snippets in text.
* Grammar, wording, and punctuation fixes.
* Formalize See gen_tcp:connect/3,4 using <seealso>.
