Why are we calling terminate() instead of clearing the defaultNetworkProcess (which should deallocate the NetworkProcessProxy and cause the process to go away)?

While both are fairly similar, I think clearing the default network process might be nicer for a few reasons:
1. This is what we used to do. When destroying the WebProcessPool, we would deallocate the NetworkProcessProxy and it would just go away (no termination involved)
2. There is a slight risk that there could be code somewhere with a RefPtr<> to a NetworkProcess (e.g. for some kind of transient operation) and terminate would abruptly interrupt the operation instead of letting it finish.
3. Youl will likely run more code doing a termination (due to termination handling) when simple destruction.

Ditto.

r=me with naming change.

> +RefPtr<NetworkProcessProxy>& NetworkProcessProxy::defaultNetworkProcessPtr()

I think the WebKit pattern is:
defaultNetworkProcessIfExists()

I don't like the Ptr() naming. When I saw it, it really wasn't clear to me what it meant.

If you don't like defaultNetworkProcessIfExists(), I guess we could call this one defaultNetworkProcess() and the one below: ensureDefaultNetworkProcess().
