Do not enumerate plugins when plugins are disabled
Even if plugins were disabled through QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, WebKit would
still enumerate the on-disk NPAPI plugins and attempt to load them. This caused
all sorts of havoc especially when loading plugins linked to Qt4. Even if that
wasn't the case, plugins should *not* be loaded unless there's a compelling
reason to do so. Loading plugins needlessly takes time and it might even have
security implications -- it sounds like a good practice to not execute random
code, even though it comes from trusted locations, when that code is not needed.
After this change, the code still passes the tst_qwebpage tests which are
related to plugin loading. As it turns out, the "QtWebKit application plugins"
(application/x-qt-plugin and application/x-qt-styled-widget) do not use this
code path at all, they instead go through a path like this one:
#0 PluginPage::createPlugin ...
#1 QWebPagePrivate::createPlugin ...
#2 WebCore::FrameLoaderClientQt::createPlugin ...
#3 WebCore::SubframeLoader::loadPlugin ...
#4 WebCore::SubframeLoader::requestPlugin ...
#5 WebCore::SubframeLoader::requestObject ...
#6 WebCore::HTMLObjectElement::updateWidget ...
#7 WebCore::HTMLPlugInImageElement::updateWidgetIfNecessary ...
#8 WebCore::HTMLPlugInImageElement::updateWidgetCallback ...
#9 WebCore::ContainerNode::dispatchPostAttachCallbacks ...
#10 WebCore::ContainerNode::resumePostAttachCallbacks ...
#11 WebCore::PostAttachCallbackDisabler::~PostAttachCallbackDisabler ...
#12 WebCore::Document::recalcStyle ...
#13 WebCore::Document::updateStyleIfNeeded ...
#14 WebCore::Document::finishedParsing ...
#15 WebCore::HTMLConstructionSite::finishedParsing ...
#16 WebCore::HTMLTreeBuilder::finished ...
#17 WebCore::HTMLDocumentParser::end ...
#18 WebCore::HTMLDocumentParser::attemptToRunDeferredScriptsAndEnd ...
#19 WebCore::HTMLDocumentParser::prepareToStopParsing ...
#20 WebCore::HTMLDocumentParser::attemptToEnd ...
