WebKit's architecture spreads the concept of `custom User Agent` in too many places. It's part of FrameLoader, DocumentLoader, WebsiteDataPolicy, and also held as `customUserAgent` and `customUserAgentAsSiteSpecificQuirks`.
This is confusing and leads to errors. We should fix this.

We can adopt a step by step for fixing this.
I have a patch which consolidate needs*UserAgent into one function with a parameter passage. That would progress things too.
