[support] url rewrite force www for multi-sites

[Jamie Holly]

In your settings.php file there's a $cookie_domain variable. Change it to:

$cookie_domain=".example.com"; // Make sure you get the . at the beginning.

That will force the session cookies to work for all all of example.com, 
including subdomains, of which www. is.
