[webkit-dev] Support "registerProtocolHandler" in WebKit2

Yes, the custom-handlers specification only allows us to use specific
schemes, and current WebCore implementation was implemented based on the
spec.
Current supported schemes are only below,

        "bitcoin", "geo", "im", "irc", "ircs", "magnet", "mailto", "mms",
"news", "nntp", "sip", "sms", "smsto", "ssh", "tel", "urn", "webcal",
"wtai", "xmpp"

I also don't want to support the "content handler" feature at the moment.
The feature might be more clear and mature. The patch of Bug 92749 only
supports registerProtocolHandler,
and unregisterProtocolHandler and isProtocolHandlerRegistered are supported
as optional.
