In ffc29ee043 (part of v1.0.0), a
qute://settings/set URL was added to change settings.
Contrary to what I apparently believed at the time, it *is* possible for
websites to access `qute://*` URLs (i.e., neither QtWebKit nor QtWebEngine
prohibit such requests, other than the usual cross-origin rules).
In other words, this means a website can e.g. have an `<img>` tag which loads a
`qute://settings/set` URL, which then sets `editor.command` to a bash script.
The result of that is arbitrary code execution.

This reverts commit 1956590df84a72c7f9a516e805d01529291fccf8.
Turns out the actual issue wasn't due to *invalid* links - it's with links
which have an unknown scheme.
There's still a change in behavior between Qt 5.10 and 5.11 though: Invalid
links are apparently not passed to acceptNavigationRequest (sometimes?) so we
don't show an error message. Instead, we just load about:blank. However,
Chromium does that too and we can't handle a real click easily, so let's just
ignore that one.
See #3661
When `@require`ing local files (with the `file://` scheme) the
greasemonkey manager was not catching the DownloadItem.finished signal
because it was being emitted before it had managed to connect.
I didn't see this happening while testing with files that should have
been in cache but I wouldn't be surprised.
I had to change the download mock to be able to give it the appearance
of asynchronicity. Now when using it one must set download.successful
appropriately before firing download.finished. I also added a list of
downloads to the stub so a test could enumerate them in case the
unit-under-test didn't have a reference to them.
This refactors the whole web(kit|engine|) settings mess a bit so there's a
Web(Kit|Engine)Settings object for (non-static) settings set on a
QWeb(Engine)Settings object in Qt. Everything else is set on module-level a bit
less declaratively.
The whole inheritance mess is gone, and we can now also construct a
Web(Kit|Engine)Settings object for a given tab.
Fixes#2701
We originally made it per-window in b502280c06 for
issue #228, but that was back when we still needed window IDs for stuff like
message.info.
Nowadays, there's no reason for it to be per-window anymore. The rest of the
download code can deal with one global download manager (because QtWebEngine has
one), and apart from QNAM code which wasn't used here anyways (as tab_id=None)
there was nothing using the window ID anymore.
Also see #3456 which was the original motivation for this change.
