Bug 42634: Force JWT cookie deletion on self-checkout logout
The web-based self-checkout (opac/sco/sco-main.pl) builds the
response JWT cookie with -expires => $jwt ? '+1d' : ''. On logout
$jwt is undef, so the cookie is sent with an empty value and no
Expires attribute - i.e. a session cookie with an empty value
rather than a deletion. Some browsers/proxies retain the previous
valid JWT in this scenario, which presents as the Finish/close
button "doing nothing" or working only intermittently: the patron
appears to remain logged in despite clicking Finish.

Use a past Expires ('-1d') when no JWT is present so the browser
deletes the cookie entirely. The subsequent ?op=logout render
cannot then rediscover the patron from a stale cookie.

Test plan:
1. Enable web-based self-checkout (SelfCheckoutByLogin or
   SelfCheckAllowByIPRanges).
2. Log in as a patron at /cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl.
3. Open DevTools -> Application -> Cookies and note the JWT cookie.
4. Click the green "Finish" button.
5. Without the patch: Set-Cookie on the ?op=logout response shows
   JWT= with no Expires; the cookie persists as an empty session
   cookie.
6. With the patch: Set-Cookie shows JWT=; expires=<past date>; the
   browser removes the cookie entirely.
7. Confirm the kiosk reliably returns to the login screen and
   subsequent page loads do not re-authenticate from a stale JWT.
