[Bug 16733] Drop 'endings'?

Is the "navigator.platform.substr(0, 3) == 'Win'" test always correct?  It
gives the UA has no control over what newline style is considered "native".

For example, a phone may want to pretend it uses CRLF newlines as far as
user-visible files are concerned (regardless of what it uses internally), to
minimize problems when people mount their phone storage on USB and access files
from their desktop.

This would turn the "if Windows" check into a list that would always be out of
date: "Windows, iPhone, iPad, Android, ...".
