Patch

This patch uses TestRunner API to allow enabling stale-while-revalidate
behavior in the NetworkProcess. I did not find a way to do a similar thing
using a runtime flag, if anybody knows an existing way or a new way to do it,
let me know...

It seems a build flag will remain needed since AsyncRevalidation relies on
SpeculativeLoad. I went with NETWORK_CACHE_SPECULATIVE_REVALIDATION this time
because it is less intrusive.
