Marshall Greenblatt ba0e1b5719 Add NetworkService support for CefURLRequest (see issue #2622).
Requests created using CefURLRequest::Create are not associated with a
browser/frame. When originating from the render process these requests cannot be
intercepted and consequently only http(s) and blob requests are supported. To
work around this limitation a new CefFrame::CreateURLRequest method has been
added that allows the request to be associated with that browser/frame for
interception purposes.

This change also fixes an issue with the NetworkService implementation where
redirected requests could result in two parallel requests being sent to the
target server.

To test: URLRequestTest.* tests pass with NetworkService enabled.

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.
