API Request: WebView.scale property

[Peter Zhelezniakov]

I suggest adding 'scale' property to WebView:

class javafx.scene.web.WebView {
    /**
     * Scale factor applied to the Web page. The scale affects logical
bounds
     * of the Web page, but not bounds of the {@code WebView} node.
     *
     * @defaultValue 1.0
     */
    public final void setScale(double value);
    public final double getScale();
    public DoubleProperty scaleProperty();
}

This property is different from scaleX/Y in several ways:
- scale is applied internally, i.e. logical bounds of the web page
change but WebView bounds don't; rather, scrollbars are updated.
Likewise in a frameset document frame bounds don't change.
- Scrollbars are not scaled and keep their regular size.

Similar functionality can be found in browsers, e.g. try Ctrl+/Ctrl- in
Firefox. WebView currently has a similar property called fontScale, but
that applies to text elements only.
