Description

For the onOverrideUrlLoading() function to be called on a plugin, it must have a <url-filter> in it's <feature> tag.

This is an undocumented quirk, and I don't think it has any benefit. In order not to break existing plugins that rely on it though, I'm going to:

1. If a plugin does have a url-filter, show a deprecation message and still apply the filtering before calling its onOverrideUrlLoading() function.
2. If a plugin does not have a url-filter, then always call its onOverrideUrlLoading() function.
