Implement Change Preferences at Runtime.

[amaitland]

Add new Get/Set preference methods to the RequestContext
Implementation is not quite complete yet.

@myrnazhou FYI a way for us to change spelling on the fly in the near future.

@Bodekaer cool (y)

[amaitland]

Basic implementation should be complete.

@Bodekaer @myrnazhou If either if you have time to take this for a spin that would be greatly appreciated 👍

It's probably worth creating an IRequestContext interface, so it's easy to write some extension methods in C# as I'm sure there will be some common use cases.

GetAllPreferences returns null. I'd test if GetPreference/SetPreference works but I don't know preference names. Hmm maybe I use it wrong? (It's the latest commit from your fork/pull request)

var requestContext = new RequestContext(new RequestContextSettings(){CachePath = "data"});
var preferences = requestContext.GetAllPreferences(true);
// exception: preferences is null
foreach(var preference in preferences)
{
    //if(preference.Value!= null)
        Debug.Print(preference.Key + " : " + preference.Value);
}

Also don't forget to wrap GetDefaultCookieManager :)

From what I can gather you have to wait for the browser to have initialized before you can call GetAllPreferences.

@midas643 I don't have any more time to work on this as the moment. Please submit a PR if you have time 👍

@amaitland Thanks so much. I've used GetAllPreferences after initialization and it works.

Preferences:
apps
browser
content_settings_window
disable_3d_apis
enable_a_ping
enable_do_not_track
enable_referrers
extensions
fullscreen
intl
media
native_messaging
partition
plugins
printing
profile
proxy
settings
spellcheck
webkit
webrtc

I will surely submit a PR when I find time. After I test setting/getting I will post some examples here.

[amaitland]

@midas643 Excellent news 👍 Any luck with setting a preference?

Anyone have a suggestion on how to wrap things in a nicer way?

I've rebased this PR on master and pushed a new commit, CookieManager is now exposed, I've also added a IRequestContext interface which means you can get access to the RequestContext through IBrowserHost.

Merging this into master now, any bugs/examples/improvements can be made in a subsequent PR.
