Marshall Greenblatt a6a8c0e845 chrome: Fix URL rewrite on new tab navigation (see issue #2969)
This fixes an `Unhandled chrome.send("getApps");` error when creating a new tab.

Creating a new tab initially loads chrome://newtab which should then be
rewritten to chrome://new-tab-page for normal profiles in
HandleNewTabURLRewrite. Failure to rewrite the URL results in the loading of
NewTabUI instead of the expected NewTabPageUI. NewTabUI loads different
resources for normal vs incognito/guest profiles (new_tab.js vs
incognito_tab.js), and new_tab.js calls chrome.send("getApps") via
page_list_view.js. This then fails in WebUIImpl::ProcessWebUIMessage because
the message is unhandled.

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.
