Summary Remove iOS-only NSUserDefaults-backed UA override

Reported 2020-10-19 16:00:23 PDT
We should remove the code in UserAgentIOS.mm that reads an override UA from the NSUserDefault [com.apple.WebFoundation UserAgent]. It is incompatible with the modern need to compose the UA from various bits of information these days (e.g. desktop vs. mobile). Clients should use the API to set the application name or UA instead. I have stumbled upon one client (com.fark.hey), and there are likely others, so it should be a linked-on-or-after change.
