ExpectedCondition is defined as a function accepting WebDriver, but it should accept SearchContext instead

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7053

ExpectedCondition is defined as a function accepting WebDriver, which means that any
ExpectedConditions method that performs a search will be scoped to the entire page.
If ExpectedCondition were defined like this...

public interface ExpectedCondition<T> extends Function<SearchContext,T>

... client code would be able to restrict search operations to specific contexts.

Because WebDriver is a SearchContext, this revised definition of ExpectedCondition
should have no impact on existing client code.

I asked for something similar to this a while back, but never got anywhere: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4528
