Bug 102049 – Split NetworkRequest up into a request class and a loading class

Split NetworkRequest up into a request class and a loading class

Sam and I discussed this today how NetworkRequest is a terrible class to do loading.  It's better to have one class represent "all the bits of data needed to start a network load", and "the owner of the network load itself"

Great idea!

Can the former keep the NetworkRequest name?

I started out keeping that name, but the naming started to fall apart as the "request" contained a "request" and it also contained datum not related directly to the request.

I also noticed that - from the perspective of WebCore in the WebProcess - this data represents a "ResourceLoader" that has already been created.

I'm definitely open to discussion and suggestions on this naming, but I'm going to land as-is since any changes are an easy substitution followup.
