Clear browsing data #7

Description

@mxmgorin

A "Clear browsing data" action for cookies, site storage, and the HTTP cache (history already has "Clear all" in the menu).

Design

  • Servo 0.4 exposes the clears: site_data_manager().clear_cookies() / clear_site_data(sites, StorageType) for cookies + localStorage, and network_manager().clear_cache() for the HTTP cache.
  • Add an AppBrowser method wrapping these; a settings action invokes it.
  • UI: a settings action (e.g. a Privacy group), optionally with per-category toggles (cookies / site storage / cache).
  • Optionally include the existing history and downloads clears here too, so everything clearable is in one place.
