The NavigationActoinData class contains a flag that hints whether an action was triggered through User Input or a load directive from the User Agent Chrome (NavigationActionData::isRequestFromClientOrUserInput) (e.g., Bug 266354). It would be helpful to expose this in the `WKNavigationAction` layer so that the User Interface could use this as a hint about how verbose to be during certain load failures. For example, a failed load of a custom URL scheme triggered by script while loading or updating a page doesn't generally need to be reported to the user, since they aren't aware of the load attempt and console logging will let a web developer see this. On the other hand, if a user clicks on a link or enters a URL in the browser chrome and the load fails, we want to immediately present this information so the user can understand what went wrong. This patch exposes the existing WebKit::NavigationActionData::isRequestFromClientOrUserInput flag through the WKNavigationAction class so a client can access it. The data is already present in the UIProcess as internal state.
