Marshall Greenblatt f60476b848 views: Add support for OS and Chrome themes (fixes #3610, fixes #3671)
Controls now respect OS and Chrome themes by default for both Alloy
and Chrome runtimes. Chrome themes (mode and colors) can be configured
using the new CefRequestContext::SetChromeColorScheme method. Individual
theme colors can be overridden using the new CefWindowDelegate::
OnThemeColorsChanged and CefWindow::SetThemeColor methods.

The `--force-light-mode` and `--force-dark-mode` command-line flags are
now respected on all platforms as an override for the OS theme.

The current Chrome theme, if any, will take precedence over the OS theme
when determining light/dark status. On Windows and MacOS the titlebar
color will also be updated to match the light/dark theme.

Testable as follows:
- Run: `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime` OR
       `cefclient --use-views --persist-user-preferences --cache-path=...`
  - App launches with default OS light/dark theme colors.
  - Change OS dark/light theme under system settings. Notice that theme
    colors change as expected.
  - Right click, select items from the new Theme sub-menu. Notice that
    theme colors behave as expected.
  - Exit and relaunch the app. Notice that the last-used theme colors are
    applied on app restart.
- Add `--background-color=green` to above command-line.
  - Perform the same actions as above. Notice that all controls start
    and remain green throughout (except some icons with Chrome runtime).
- Add `--force-light-mode` or `--force-dark-mode` to above command-line.
  - Perform the same actions as above. Notice that OS dark/light theme
    changes are ignored, but Chrome theme changes work as expected.

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.
