I see your point about adding it to the WebKit API, I can do that.

I don't think this should be added to PluginData, as it's not a general method
that would be used by other ports.  It's only in Chromium's case that we double
cache the list (once in PluginData, and another in the browser process), but
that's a result of our multi-process architecture and I don't think other ports
need it.  I checked them and didn't find any of them doing caching in their
PluginData implementation.

Also, I think the current location is a good place to cache, since moving our
plugin list from outside WebKit code to WebKit code entails a lot of string
conversion (over 500 on my machine).
