Description David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2018-04-19 11:58:34 PDT 
Enable Objective-C weak references in the WebKit project as a baby step towards enabling ARC.

This will let the WebKit project use the 'weak' attribute with Objective-C properties prior to enabling ARC.

(Where ARC is already enabled in a couple of test projects, we don't explicitly re-enable weak references as ARC already provides them.)
