Marshall Greenblatt ebee84755e Convert legacy IPC messages to Mojo (fixes issue #3123) 
This change introduces a few minor CEF API behavior changes:

- A CefProcessMessage object cannot be reused after being passed to
  SendProcessMessage.
- The |extra_info| argument to CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated may
  now be NULL.

Where appropriate, we now utilize the default UTF string encoding format and
shared memory to reduce copies and conversions for the cross-process
transfer of arbitrary-length strings. For example, CefFrame::GetSource/GetText
now involves zero UTF conversions and zero copies in the browser process for
the CefString delivered to CefStringVisitor::Visit().

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.
