[webkit-dev] PSA: Chromium layout test fallbacks AKA down with graphs, long live trees

[Dirk Pranke]

This change has been made.

I will note, however, that the fallback order for all WebKit ports is
still not a tree :( The webkit2 ports will use results in platform/wk2
in addition to their non-wk2 fallback paths :(
