Marshall Greenblatt 8da8a4fbf1 Update to Chromium revision 12bfc336 (#338390).
- The ffmpeg library is now statically linked (see https://codereview.chromium.org/1141703002).
- Off-screen rendering of the PDF viewer does not work in combination with surfaces. Pass the
  `--disable-surfaces` command-line flag if GPU is enabled (see https://codereview.chromium.org/1169983006).

REDISTRIBUTION
--------------
This binary distribution contains the below components. Components listed under
the "required" section must be redistributed with all applications using CEF.
Components listed under the "optional" section may be excluded if the related
features will not be used.
Applications using CEF on OS X must follow a specific app bundle structure.
Replace "cefclient" in the below example with your application name.

The "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" is an unversioned framework that
contains CEF binaries and resources. Executables (cefclient, cefclient Helper,
etc) are linked to the "Chromium Embedded Framework" library using
install_name_tool and a path relative to @executable_path.
The "cefclient Helper" apps are used for executing separate processes
(renderer, plugin, etc) with different characteristics. They need to have
separate app bundles and Info.plist files so that, among other things, they
don't show dock icons. The "EH" helper, which is used when launching plugin
processes, has the MH_NO_HEAP_EXECUTION bit cleared to allow an executable
heap. The "NP" helper, which is used when launching NaCl plugin processes
only, has the MH_PIE bit cleared to disable ASLR. This is set up as part of
the build process using scripts from the tools/ directory. Examine the Xcode
project included with the binary distribution or the originating cefclient.gyp
file for a better idea of the script dependencies.
Required components:
The following components are required. CEF will not function without them.
* CEF core library.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework
* Unicode support data.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/icudtl.dat
* V8 snapshot data.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/natives_blob.bin
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/snapshot_blob.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.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/*.lproj/
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" 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.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef.pak
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef_100_percent.pak
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef_200_percent.pak
These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink.
Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef_extensions.pak
This file contains non-localized resources required for extension loading.
Pass the `--disable-extensions` command-line flag to disable use of this
file. Without this file components that depend on the extension system,
such as the PDF viewer, will not function.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/devtools_resources.pak
This file contains non-localized resources required for Chrome Developer
Tools. Without this file Chrome Developer Tools will not function.
* Breakpad support.
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/crash_inspector
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/crash_report_sender
* Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/Info.plist
Without these files breakpad support (crash reporting) will not function.
