Description

Upcoming release of Chrome 80 will make cookies with SameSite=Lax by default.
https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5088147346030592
This will break our advertising and tracking mechanics. We are using userid cookie for many of our projects placed on subdomains.
For now, we are allowing crossdomain uid cookies with:

userid_path '/; Secure; SameSite=None';

But there is a problem with some old browsers: cookies with SameSite are declined
https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site/incompatible-clients

Can we have option to control SameSite attribute in userid_module? And not enabling this feature for "incompatible-clients" list

PS: We could do this with map, but userid module doesn't support variables

map "$http_user_agent" $userid_path {
    default                     "/;";
    "Chrome 64"                  "/; Secure; SameSite=None";
}

...

userid_path $userid_path;

Results:

Set-Cookie: uid_test=fwAAAV3KnIGr0OrKAwMFAg==; path=$userid_path
