[curl] Incorrect stripping of query from file URL

[Mike Enright]

CURL: Incorrect stripping of query from file URL:

A URL of 
file:///dir/foo3.html?3
Turns into 
file:///dir/foo

Before being passed to CURL.

The cause is in ResourceHandleManager.cpp ResourceHandleManager::initializeHandle. When kurl.isLocalFile() is true, the query string is obtained and then:

int queryIndex = url.find(query);
if (queryIndex != -1)
    url = url.left(queryIndex - 1);

The fix is to change the find to reverseFind.

I have seen that the CURL code is not popular, but it is still in SVN. 

I looked briefly for equivalent logic in the Soup code but I didn't find query strings being stripped, just fragment identifiers.

This is a more robust solution than doing a reverseFind.

For example:
 file:///dir/file3.html?3&3

the reverseFind would end up something with:
 file:///dir/file3.html?3

but with this patch it'll be:
 file:///dir/file3.html
