Widevine CDM binaries will be downloaded on supported platforms shortly after
application startup. Widevine support will then become available within a few
seconds after successful installation on Windows or after the next application
restart on other platforms. The CDM files will be downloaded to a "WidevineCdm"
directory inside the `CefSettings.user_data_path` directory.
Pass the `--disable-component-update` command-line flag to disable Widevine
download and installation. Pass the `--component-updater=fast-update` command-
line flag to force Widevine download immediately after application startup.
See the related issue for additional usage details.
