Summary: [OpenConnect] Explain "Store browser cookies in
plain-text" and use a better wording

SUMMARY
When I intend to connect to a Cisco AnyConnect VPN via OpenConnect, the login
window offers me to
[ ] Store browser cookies in plain-text
I've found out that the credentials are finally saved, when checking this
option (additionally?) to [ ] Store Credentials.
However, this option sounds very ominous:
- I'm connecting to a VPN, why is there a "browser" involved or "browser
cookies"?
- Do those cookies store information about the session? What do they contain?
- If the setting is unchecked, will it omit storing cookies at all _or_ instead
store them in non-plain-text?
- If they are stored in plain-text, where and how can I delete the cookies? How
long are they valid?
- Since password saving doesn't work w/o it, shouldn't this option be always
set at least as long credentials are meant to be stored?
