Can't load a local HTML file with querystring via WebView.src (WebView.url works but is removed)

[EddyVerbruggen]

As noted here I'd like to request to not remove the WebView.url property as it's the only way to currently load a local HTML file with query parameters.

Passing ~/file.html to WebView.src works, but ~/file.html?foo=bar loads a blank page because it can't find the local file. WebView.url works perfectly for that case.

WebView.src can be altered to make it load the file successfully, but still I see no way in the current implementation to pass querystring params to the file. I really need a way to access those params in the loaded HTML file.

Related to this fix.
Should we provide a way to pass query params via src or roll-back the url property?

Ping @vakrilov , @hshristov ^^^

IMO, I think we should keep both properties:

src should be the url that was explicitly set on the webview (and triggers a load)
url should be only a getter that always provides the current url (automatically updated on redirects, navigation, etc)
