WebKit should expose some sort of revision number

Chromium is currently misusing the webkit revision numbers (like 528.0),
shipping multiple versions of WebKit with the same revision number.

WebKit has no releases.  So there really isn't a version number I can suggest
for Chromium to use.  (Apple maintains the 520.x numbers for their own internal
build trains).

One simple solution would be to expose a webkit svn revision number, or build
date off of window.navigator.

I'm partial to the svn revision number.  The only problem with that is when we
eventually switch to a new version control system which is not monotonically
increasing.
