27604	Use set_signed_cookie for contrib.messages Cookie storage	Anthony King	Craig Anderson	"This relates to `django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie`.

In its current state, the Cookie store implements it's own signing method (called `_hash`).
This uses a it's own approach to verifying the data inside the cookie.

using `set_signed_cookie` removes duplicate code, as well as allows the message cookie to use custom signing backends.


There is, perhaps, another change that can be made, which is to use `signing.dumps` to take advantage of the zlib compression. However this has potential to be a breaking change for people that read the JSON in the cookie, and may not yield better results in size."
