A navigation can be initiated either from API (on Mac/iOS -[WKWebView goBack]) or web content (e.g. a user clicking on a hyperlink). We should pass such information to the embedding client when requesting whether to perform the navigation so that it can make an informed decision. Although an embedding client can determine that a navigation action was triggered by API by checking if the API::NavigationAction::sourceFrame is nullptr it would be less error prone to add explicit API to query the source of the navigation action.

After thinking about this some more it seems a excessive to expose API for the initiator type. Marking this as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
