Mac is the only holdout that performs non-composited fades of page overlays. We should adopt that mechanism (as a precursor to doing a CA-accelerated fade) and remove the now-unnecessary property.

Created attachment 207985 [details] patch We also need to make WKBundlePageOverlayFractionFadedIn return 1 always, to prevent clients from attempting to bake the fade opacity in. And, make the find-in-page overlay not bake the opacity in as well. In doing this I also removed PageOverlay::fractionFadedIn so nobody tries to use it for anything (since it is not useful with composited fade, and will be totally wrong with CA-accelerated fade).
