Spun off from Bug 20661.  We should match HTML5's policy for window.close():

"The close() method on Window objects should, if the corresponding browsing
context A is an auxiliary browsing context that was created by a script (as
opposed to by an action of the user), and if the browsing context of the script
that invokes the method is allowed to navigate the browsing context A, close
the browsing context A (and may discard it too)."

Here is Firefox's implementation:

Here is our implementation:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/page/DOMWindow.cpp#L447

The main goofy thing we do is that we allow window.close() if 

        || m_frame->loader()->getHistoryLength() <= 1
