[webkit-help] Platform specific expected files for layout test cases

[Ryosuke Niwa]

In most cases, you rebaseline one platform locally to verify the
correctness of the behavior change and let reviewers know of the change,
then just land the patch.

Once the patch is landed, you can pick up new results out of bots on
build.webkit.org, and land them without reviews if you're a committer. If
not, then ask your reviewer or some other committer to assist you.
