Connect to SharePoint using browser-session cookies (FedAuth / rtFa).

This is useful when you already have authenticated browser cookies (e.g. from Playwright, Selenium, or a logged-in browser session). Cookie values are passed as a dict; for capturing from a real browser see examples/sharepoint/auth_cookies.py (uses Playwright storage state).
