New issue 18292 by [email protected]: Consider moving alt error page  
support to the ResourceDispatcherHost layer
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18292

Consider moving error page support to the ResourceDispatcherHost layer

There are loads of problems with the way error pages / alternate 404 pages
load today.  It might just make a lot more sense for them to be loaded as
alternate data provided at the ResourceDispatcherHost layer (in the form of
a custom ResourceHandler) before we even send any data to WebKit.

Some bugs this would resolve:
1- We'd no longer have to implement subtle behavior to get the page_id
advancement correct.  See all the delicate code related to setting the
'replace' flag correctly in render_view.cc.
2- We'd no longer get multiple start/stop loading notifications for page
transitions involving error pages.
3- We'd avoid subtle buffering of response data for alternate 404 pages.
4- Alternate error pages for post responses would work properly.

Concerns:
1- This would mean that alternate error pages load with the security origin
of the failed page.  This may actually be a good thing.
