Extract php_is_valid_samesite_value() in ext/standard/head.c as a shared validation function that enforces the SameSite whitelist (Strict, Lax, None, or empty string) with case-insensitive matching. Apply validation in both setcookie()/setrawcookie() (replacing the existing TODO comment) and the session.cookie_samesite INI handler. Previously arbitrary strings including CRLF sequences were accepted and appended verbatim into the Set-Cookie header.

Applied validation of samesite option in
ini,setcookie(),session_set_cookie_params(). Four values are allowedStrict, Lax, None, or empty string. Doc: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Set-Cookie#samesitesamesite-valueWe can apply similar validation to other values, as a few values are vulnerable to CRLF Injection. I'm not sure it's a security issue, so I will just publish it in the next PRs.
