Marshall Greenblatt 3c85154faf Remove renderer process CefURLRequest support
The CefFrame::CreateURLRequest method is no longer supported in the renderer
process. Usage of this method was already limited to same-origin requests due
to renderer process CORS restrictions, and the underlying Blink API has now
been removed in https://crbug.com/1413912 (M112+).

Existing alternatives include CefURLRequest usage in the browser process, or
JavaScript XMLHttpRequest/fetch API usage in the renderer process.

There may be instances where CEF requires changes to the source code for
Chromium, Blink or third-party projects that are either not desired by those
projects or that have not yet been merged into the source code versions of those
projects used by CEF. To address this situation the CEF project adds a patch
capability as part of cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step. This patch
capability works as follows:

1. The CEF developer creates one or more patch files containing all required
   code changes and places those patch files in the "patches" subdirectory.
2. The CEF developer adds an entry for each patch file in the "patch.cfg" file.
3. When building CEF from source code the patch files are applied by the
   patcher.py tool via the cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step
4. When updating Chromium the patch_updater.py tool is used to update all patch
   files. See https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/ChromiumUpdate.md
   for more information about the update process.
