refactor($browser): remove faulty 20+ cookies warning

IgorMinar · IgorMinar · commit afd677116375 · 2013-01-08T14:27:51.000-08:00
the warning is defunct (and the test is incorrect) so obviously nobody is using it and it just takes up space. also the browser behavior varies (ff and chrome allow up to 150 cookies, safari even more), so it's not very useful. Closes angular#1712
