[webkit-dev] Removing obsolete File attributes

[Darin Fisher]

As I mentioned in the bug, it is encouraging news that Mozilla has already
removed these attributes (for a couple releases now).  I would like to see
them go away too.

There's unfortunately, the real possibility that there may be some existing
webkit-specific or chrome-specific (extensions) content out there that is
expecting these properties to exist.  I think we need to be a bit cautious
since we've included these properties in webkit for such a long time (since
2008!).  Here's the revision that added them:
