MASTER: WebKit needs an HTML5 Tokenizer

Adam and I are going to work on adding one this week.  This is a master bug which we will relate all of the various bugs to.

We're going to start by forking from PreloadScanner.  We will be in #webkit and happy to discuss our design thoughts.

Henri mentioned that Mozilla has 6 open evangelism related to their HTML5 parser:

Here's the spreadsheet we're using to triage the remaining LayoutTest failures:

Currently, there are around 150 failures.  However, for some of them, our new behavior is correct w.r.t. the spec but the tests have their expectations set to the old parser behavior.

This is now enabled by default.  There are still some dependent bugs to finish up, but we can close the master.  We'll probably open a new master to deal with regressions.

Here's the master bug for tracking compatibility regressions due to the new tokenizer:
