Summary:
When rotating the device, it appears that the CSS safe-area-inset constants are not getting updated in UIWebView. They seem to be getting updated after the rotation, but not in time for them to apply to the re-drawn view.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page with `viewport-fit=cover` and `constant(safe-area-inset-top)` into a fullscreen UIWebView on iPhone X in portrait view (example HTML: https://gist.github.com/dpogue/dbfe53aaa2c8ed914c8f2d8fd8beb78a)

2. Rotate the device to landscape view.

3. Rotate the device back to portrait view.

Expected Results:
The safe area constants should be correct for the given view, and update automatically when rotation occurs.

Actual Results:
After rotating to landscape view, the safe-area-inset-top still seems to have a value of 44px.
After rotating back to portrait view, the safe-area-inset-top seems to have a value of 0px.

Version:
iOS 11 GM

Notes:
This is fixed in WKWebView, possibly by this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174598 & rdar://problem/33364275
