URLs accessed as a result of pushState/replaceState should count as "visited" and be in the global history

See attached example, which works fine in Firefox 4 and Chrome.

Chrome is likely managing it themselves, but this should be something WebKit handles internally.

The new fast/loader/stateobjects/state-url-sets-links-visited.html fails on WK2 bot:

Interesting.  Seems possible/likely that WK2 DRT doesn't do history tracking properly yet.

WKTR does implement all of the related APIs, but it's returning the green unvisited link style, if I throw some alerts in.

I tested the patch and test manually in WK2, so I know there's nothing fundamentally wrong here.  I wonder if visited links round trip through the UI process and therefore we're getting hurt by IPC?  I don't know yet, still exploring.

Found 3 other tests that rely on the same layout test controller APIs that were already skipped.

FIled https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58334 and added this test to the skipped list.
