Hard freeze exception request... (KIO::AccessManager)

[Dawit A.]

I would like to apply the attached patch to KIO::AccessManager inspite of the 
recently passed hard freeze deadline. 

The patch adds a couple of convinence functions for setting/getting KDE 
cookiejar's window id and a couple more for accessing/setting the request and 
session KIO meta-data. This way anyone re-implementing KIO::AccessManager to 
perform things like request filtering (e.g. ad blockers) would not be burdened 
with having to re-implement all the functionality that currently exists in a 
private re-implementation of this class in kdelibs/kdewebkit. It also makes 
the private re-implementation class kdelibs/kdewebkit/networkaccessmanager_p.* 
and the awkwardly placed pure virtual function (authorizedRequest) in kwebpage 
unnecessary.

Additionally the patch also changes the behavior of KIO::AccessManager so that 
its cookiejar support is by default changed to use KDE's cookiejar. I am not 
entirely sure whether or not such change violates BC since it is a change from 
current behavior. However, it does not make sense for a KDE integration class 
not to use available KDE facilities by default. 

Even if the above behavior change is not allowed, I would like to commit 
everything else. 

Thanks.
