[Qtwebengine] Modifying request Headers for QML's WebEngineView

[Neil Williams]

Thanks to you both for your help, QQuickWebEngineProfile did seem to do the
trick.

One thing I found a little odd was that the 'Cookie' header (set in the
interceptor) was overwritten by the contents of the Cookies stored in the
QWebEngineCookieStore.

So if the QWebEngineCookieStore retrieved from the QQuickWebEngineProfile
was empty, setting the 'Cookie' header in the interceptor would work,
otherwise the contents of the proper cookie store seemed to overwrite the
header.

Not a massive issue as we will probably go down the route of keeping the
our QNetworkCookieJar in sync with the QWebEngineCookieStore but a little
unexpected.
