[Qtwebengine] How to change user agent?

[Pierre Rossi]

Hi,

I think you'll most likely need something like this for your needs:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,75125

It is essentially just missing the permission granting part (which could be
a bit of a problem if the contents you load are untrusted, you have been
warned).

We don't have user agent string overriding implemented yet (shouldn't be
too hard, we just didn't get around to it), but in that case, WebRTC should
work everywhere they sniff the UA-string thanks to adding the a mention of
Chromium and the version we're based off alongside the usual suspects
(Mozilla, WebKit, KHTML, Gecko and Safari).

Feedback is most welcome of course.

Cheers,

Pierre
