Summary Web Inspector: Remove pre-filled URL for bug reports of unhandled exceptions

We've been getting a lot of reports of unhandled exceptions from projects that forked Web Inspector or use it as standalone client in environments that are not WebKit and are missing APIs. https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&component=Web%20Inspector&list_id=12985191&query_format=advanced&resolution=INVALID&resolution=WONTFIX&short_desc=Uncaught%20Exception&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr We can infer the third-party project from the naming of files which don't match anything in the source. These reports are not actionable for WebKit. They need to be addressed by the third-party project. In the vast majority of the cases, the reporter doesn't supply steps to reproduce or ever follow-up on requests for information. This behavior is encouraged by the pre-filled URL to create a new Bugzilla issue presented in the uncaught exception view that shows in debug/development builds of Web Inspector. It makes it very easy to click and submit a bug report without providing any additional input. This puts unnecessary burden on triage.
