Bug 317229 – [NavigationScheduler] history.back/forward/go(n) coalescing across processes via UIProcess session history traversal queue

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

Follow-up to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317077.

Per HTML spec, history.back/forward/go(n) appends a task to the
top-level traversable's session history traversal queue. The previous
fix (bug 317077) implemented per-WebProcess coalescing by forwarding
to the top frame's NavigationScheduler when reachable in this
WebProcess. Under Site Isolation, when the top frame is a RemoteFrame
(a cross-site iframe initiates the traversal), the queue must live
above any single WebProcess.

Symptom:
- iframe (process A) history.back(); and main frame (process B)
  history.forward(); queued synchronously do not coalesce; both
  navigations execute and the user sees an extra load event the spec
  says should not occur.

Proposal:
Introduce SessionHistoryTraversalQueue, owned by WebPageProxy
(top-level traversable proxy). WebProcess NavigationScheduler routes
to it via a new IPC when the top frame is a RemoteFrame. The queue
accumulates pending delta and flushes on a 0-delay timer, calling
goToBackForwardItemAtIndex with the net delta (no-op when delta == 0,
matching "going nowhere"). Class naming leaves room for a future
spec-faithful "sequential apply + synchronous queue jumping"
implementation as a separate epic.

Out of scope for this bug: spec-correct top-level reload semantics
for history.go(0) (currently per-frame reload — see related followup).

Test plan:
- API tests covering cross-process iframe <-> main frame coalescing
  under Site Isolation enabled.
- WPT suites under
  imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/browsers/browsing-the-web/overlapping-navigations-and-traversals/
  with SI configuration.

Local prototype on branch eng/basuke/cross-process-traversal-queue
already passes a SiteIsolation.CrossProcessHistoryTraversalCoalesce
API test; bug 317077 API/WPT do not regress.
