Marshall Greenblatt 8424f166cc Use the same pak files for the Alloy and Chrome runtimes (see issue #2969)
Chrome currently uses chrome_100_percent.pak, chrome_200_percent.pak,
resources.pak and locales/<locale>.pak files. This change adds CEF
resources to those existing pak files and updates the Alloy runtime to
use them instead of the previous CEF-specific pak files (cef.pak,
cef_100_percent.pak, cef_200_percent.pak, cef_extensions.pak,
devtools_resources.pak) which are no longer generated.

The addition of Chrome resources results in an ~16% (~4.1MB) increase in total
combined pak file size vs. the previous CEF-specific pak files. While a size
increase is not ideal for the Alloy runtime, it seems preferable to the
alternative of distributing separate (and partially duplicated) pak files for
each runtime, which would have added ~9.8MB to the total binary distribution
size.

REDISTRIBUTION
--------------
This binary distribution contains the below components.
Required components:
The following components are required. CEF will not function without them.
* CEF core library.
* libcef.dll
* Crash reporting library.
* chrome_elf.dll
* Unicode support data.
* icudtl.dat
* V8 snapshot data.
* snapshot_blob.bin
* v8_context_snapshot.bin
Optional components:
The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to
run but any related functionality may become broken or disabled.
* Localized resources.
Locale file loading can be disabled completely using
CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be
customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path.
* locales/
Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A
.pak file is loaded from this directory based on the CefSettings.locale
value. Only configured locales need to be distributed. If no locale is
configured the default locale of "en-US" will be used. Without these files
arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.
* Other resources.
Pack file loading can be disabled completely using
CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources directory path can be
customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path.
* chrome_100_percent.pak
* chrome_200_percent.pak
* resources.pak
These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink.
Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.
* Angle and Direct3D support.
* d3dcompiler_47.dll (required for Windows Vista and newer)
* libEGL.dll
* libGLESv2.dll
Without these files HTML5 accelerated content like 2D canvas, 3D CSS and WebGL
will not function.
* SwiftShader support.
* swiftshader/libEGL.dll
* swiftshader/libGLESv2.dll
Without these files WebGL will not function in software-only mode when the GPU
is not available or disabled.
