Allow for setting the cookie path for LtpaToken2 cookie (Security reasons)

We would like the `LtpaToken2` cookie path to be equal to the context root of the web module instead of `/`.

For `httpSession` elements, there exists a `useContextRootAsCookiePath` attribute to accomplish this (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.liberty.autogen.base.doc/ae/rwlp_config_httpSession.html).

However, no such `useContextRootAsCookiePath` exists for `webAppsecurity` elements and it doesn't appear that there is any other way to set the cookie path for `LtpaToken2` to accomplish this. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.liberty.autogen.base.doc/ae/rwlp_config_webAppSecurity.html

The ability to limit the cookie path is desirable here as leaving the cookie path as `/` means that the cookie will be sent to any app using the same domain name even if the intended application is using a different `context root`.

This request was initially created here https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/16235

    This idea was delivered in 23.0.0.9. The Open Liberty release blog post describes how to use it here. This is also available in WebSphere Liberty and can be configured in the same way.

    Hi Alasdair, I did not see anyway to make this private or public as part of submission. Is there any way to change the visibility of it so other folks can upvote it as well? Also, any idea as to when this is planned to be addressed? We need to communicate to our clients who have raised their concerns on this issue. Thanks in advance.

    When this Aha Idea was created it was created to be only visible to internal users. Looking at the history there has been no change to visibility.

    Just wondering why this one has been marked private? We had another customer escalation come up regarding this and they are specifically sighting security as the reason for doing so. Does marking it private mean that it will be addressed but its private so that others aren't aware of the security risk? If so, that's fine our team is just wondering when it is planned to be addressed so that we can communicate it to our clients who have raised their concerns on this issue.
