Message that can be sent between the UI process and web process extensions.

A WebKitUserMessage is a message that can be used for the communication between the UI process and web process extensions. A WebKitUserMessage always has a name, and it can also include parameters and UNIX file descriptors. Messages can be sent from a WebContext to all web process extensions, from a web process extension to its corresponding WebContext, and from a WebView to its corresponding WebKitWebPage (and vice versa). One to one messages can be replied to directly with send_reply.
