Network Information APIs is to provide an interface for Web Applications to access the underlying network information of device. In Web Application case, they need to know what current network interface it uses. Because, it is important to know current network backbone(wifi, 3g, 4G and so on) in mobile domain. Thus, Web Application can let user know whether current network bearer is 3G or wifi via this new functionality. In addition, in streaming service case, Web Application can control content resolution according to kind of network.

I submit a prototype for this feature. But, I'm not sure if location of concrete implementation is correct. For now, I add concrete implementation to NetworkStateNotifier.cpp first. Please give any advices or opinions for this feature.
