Bug Description

One can specify using a command line option what the user agent for a given container "session" is. It does not currently works for the first http request. There is a race in the ubuntu webview component between the time the webcontext is created (with the default UA), the time the URL is set (and picked up by Oxide), and the time the new user agent is pull from the webview override using getUserAgent(),
