Call [WKWebView setCustomUserAgent] on news.google.com on devices doesn't refresh the page.

I stumbled on this bug because of the TODO here:
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/ios/web/web_state/web_state_impl.mm?q=736103&l=764

It looks like calling [WKWebView setCustomUserAgent] updates navigator.userAgent as expected without having to destroy the WKWebView. The current page is not reloaded, but the next page loaded will see the new user agent.

Right now we're calling [CRWWebController requirePageReconstruction], which is slow. Is this really necessary?
