Public bug reported:

Firefox only allows scripts to close windows that were opened by it.

Chrome allows this too, but it also allows a script to close a window
that wasn't opened by it if its navigation history only has a single
entry.

This presents a problem in Oxide - calling window.close() is
destructive, which means it's technically mandatory for applications to
implement and handle WebView::closeRequested.

What we should do is make Oxide behave like Firefox here, and then it
only becomes mandatory to implement WebView::closeRequested in the case
where an application implements WebView::newViewRequested.
