Reload Inspector context menu

Currently, it is possible to reload the Inspector by inspecting it and pressing Command R. There should be a way to do that without opening another Inspector instance.

We could add a context menu or/and introduce a shortcut.

what about closing and reopening it? This will force a new WKWebView to be created and cause a new navigation.

Note that either option will not reload new resources from the source directory, so you would have to still run the WebInspectorUI build step.

Anyway, to implement this, here's a sketch:

1. We need to set a WKPageContextMenuClient in InspectorProxy.cpp, near where the other clients are initialized.

2. The callback in there needs to create an array with proposed menu items. I think these are added before Inspect Element, which is generated deep inside WebCore.

3. The item is created using WKContextMenuItemCreateAsAction(kWKContextMenuItemTagReload, WKStringCreateWithUTF8CString("Reload Inspector"), true)

4. Profit!

This patch won't apply without the dependent patch.

Command-Option-R toggles responsive design mode in Safari.
Now, pressing Command-Option-R once enters responsive design mode.
Pressing it again, toggles the right sidebar.

Whoops, wrong bug.

Thanks for working on this!

While we are at it, would it make sense to add a keyboard shortcut too? Maybe Cmd-Ctrl-R.

Worthy of a comment.

Might want to add a separator item.

I held back from this since we have several reload-related shortcuts already. Do we have a clear system to distinguish shortcuts that affect the inspector vs inspected page? I have been using Cmd-Option- as a prefix for some shortcuts that would typically be in the "View" menu.

I will add it as Cmd-Opt-Shift-R. This matches Cmd-Opt-Shift-D (Toggle Debug UI). We generally don't use Ctrl and Cmd in shortcuts, since they are the same thing on other platforms.
