RFT:Chrome browser deletecookies and deletecache API

Deletecookies() deletes all of the browser's cookies.
However, there is no similar method available in RFT to clear browser cache.
Also the browser-level deletecookies() API is not supported in Chrome testing. Cookies need to be deleted manually.
As we are using RFT to automate our application that runs in Chrome there is a need to clean the cache/cookies post prolonged run of the suite.
The need is to have a API in RFT that shall delete the cache/cookies of Chrome as well.

    This request is implemented in RFT 10.2.2.

    Now, user can specify the Clear browser data (Clear cache and Clear history) UI Test preferences to playback Functional HTML script with WebUI. With this preferences set it will clear cache and history on launching the browser.

    Also user can use deleteCookies() API in script to delete cookies and session data on current browser instance while playback. applicable for Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers.

    Sample code to call deleteCookies() API using browser instance:

    browser_htmlBrowser(document_google(),DEFAULT_FLAGS).deleteCookies();

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
