--window-status causes endless loop with --header-html

[ghost]

As soon as --header-html and/or --footer-html is used together with --window-status, no data is returned, the command never stops.

Found the problem/solution by studying the sourcecode...

The html of --header-html and/or --footer-html also has to set the window.status to the same value as main page, e.g. with <script>window.status = 'myrandomstring';</script>. Then --window-status feature works as expected.

The problem can be seen in file multipageloader.cc in void ResourceObject::loadFinished(), it is connected to all resources in pdfconverter.cc, including header and footer (hfLoader) and compares (windowStatus != settings.windowStatus) for all resources, btw. also for toc --xsl-style-sheet if used.

Would suggest to use the current ResourceObject::loadFinished() for pageLoader and a different one without waitWindowStatus() check for measuringHFLoader hfLoader tocLoader1 and tocLoader2.

This also solves #1725 and an old ticket https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=938

wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1, 32-bit for Windows XP/2003 or later
