Marshall Greenblatt 53ef570f57 chrome: Support Chrome and DevTools command execution (fixes #3282, fixes #3600)
Add new CefBrowserHost::[Can]ExecuteChromeCommand methods for executing
arbitrary Chrome commands.

Add support for existing CefBrowserHost::ShowDevTools, CloseDevTools and
HasDevTools methods.

DevTools windows now support the same Views callbacks as normal popup
windows with the new CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeDevToolsPopup callback
as the DevTools-specific equivalent of OnBeforePopup.

Always create DevTools as an undocked window to support use of
ShowDevTools with default Chrome browser windows.

To test:

Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views]
     --gtest_filter=V8Test.OnUncaughtExceptionDevTools`

OR:

1. Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-native]`
2. Select "Show DevTools", "Close DevTools" or "Inspect" from the
   right-click menu.
3. Notice that the DevTools window is Views-hosted (or native-hosted)
   and works as expected.

Add --use-default-popup to get a default styled popup in step 3.

README.txt

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.
