[webkit-dev] Support "registerProtocolHandler" in WebKit2

[Gyuyoung Kim]

It seem to me there are both agreements and objections to support this
feature in WebKit2.
It looks many web contents have already used some custom schemes as
'mailto://',
and In my humble opinion, the feature
will be able to improve the usage of the custom scheme. Besides we can
control the supported custom schemes because
the feature only supports pre-defined custom schemes. Web content is only
able to use the pre-defined custom schemes.
In my opinion, it would be good if the feature is supported by WebKit2
although it is added as an experimental feature using #ifdef.

However If WK2 owners still think this feature needs to be more stable, I
will wait until they agree it.
