We need a file system location for WebKitUserContentFilterStore, and
there is no way around it because the files will be mmap'd and file
descriptor handles passed across processes over IPC. The only option
to handle filters in an ephemeral way would be to use some location
under “/tmp” — and I think it should be the responsibility of the
application to decide whether to do that or not.
