Chromium

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. This is a WebView problem, so open a page in WebView, for example search for 'zzz' in Google Search app on Android.
2. Connect to Webview using 'Inspect Devices' on Chrome.
3. Type in the following:
var r = new webkitSpeechRecognition()
r.onstart = function() {console.log('onstart');}
r.onerror = function() {console.log('onerror');}
r.start()

What is the expected behavior?
Either recognition starts (if webview called grant() on the onPermissionRequest) or onerror is called.
r.abort() should bring the object to a clean state in any case.

What went wrong?
r.start does nothing. WebChromeClient.onPermissionRequest seems not to be called.

Calling r.start() again causes "DOMException: Failed to execute 'start' on 'SpeechRecognition': recognition has already started."

r.abort() doesn't help either.

In Webview39 there was no webkitSpeechRecognition object so JS knew not to use speech recognition.
