Also fix such obsolete flags:
* `use_gconf` was already known to become obsolete with Chromium 65
* `enable_hotwording` has been removed in upstream commit d693f0c7ab
Before version 54, the WideVine CDM plugin was built unconditionally and
it seems since version 54 this now is dependent upon a GYP/GN flag on
whether to include the CDM shared library or not.
Also, we now use a patch from Gentoo which should hopefully get the CDM
plugin to work properly, at least according to their bugtracker:

So far we had the bundled Flash player plugin that came with Chrome, but
since version 54 the Chrome package doesn't include PPAPI Flash anymore.
Instead we're going to download the PPAPI Flash plugin directly from
Adobe and try to use them for all release channels of Chromium.
Of course it would be nice if we'd have an updater for it but for now
it's important that we don't break things for people who are currently
forced to use Flash.

Previously I've added the extra file common-gn.nix in addition to
common.nix, so we can possibly have a smooth transition from current
stable to the new version 54.
Unfortunately, version 53 is already EOL and we have to move to version
54 as soon as possible so we can only use GN and thus it doesn't make
sense to provide expressions for GYP anymore.

This should now be the upstream default and there also is no more flag
for GN to set it, so we'll no longer need it on our side as well.

This only uses the most basic GN flags which should represent the GYP
flags we had before. In order to get rid most of the GYP cruft, we now
have common.nix and common-gn.nix which are mostly the same, just that
the latter is only for GN builds.
The GN implementation is far from complete and currently not even
builds, so we need more work to get the beta and dev channels building.

Closes#17460
Changed the wrapper derivation to produce a second output containing the sandbox.
Add a launch wrapper to try and locate the sandbox (either in /var/setuid-wrappers or in /nix/store).
This launch wrapper also sheds libredirect.so from LD_PRELOAD as Chromium does not tolerate it.
Does not trigger a Chromium rebuild.

First step towards addressing #17460
In order to be able to run the SUID sandbox, which is good for security
and required to run Chromium with any kind of reasonable sandboxing when
using grsecurity kernels, we want to be able to control where the
sandbox comes from in the Chromium wrapper. This commit patches the
appropriate bit of source and adds the same old sandbox to the wrapper
(so it should be a no-op)
Regression introduced by f28b71023c.
Let's now expose and use the upstream-info attribute via the main
Chromium derivation, so that other packages like the google-chrome
package doesn't need to rely on internals of the Chromium
implementation.

This effectively resets the attributes given at the point the main
<nixpkgs> is imported and thus for example is also reading in stuff like
~/.nixpkgs/config.nix again, which might lead to unexpected results.
We now only import <nixpkgs> now if the updater is auto-called (like in
update.sh), otherwise the required attributes are passed by callPackage
within the Chromium scope.
I remember noting about this a while ago either on IRC or on GitHub, but
I can't find it right now, so thanks to @obadz for reminding me about
this in #15225.
Tested this by running the updater and also using:
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=$(pwd)/broken.nix nix-instantiate --arg config {} -A chromium
The contents of broken.nix were:

Fixes: #15225
It's not the job of Nixpkgs to distribute beta versions of upstream
packages. More importantly, building these delays channel updates by
several hours, which is bad for our security fix turnaround time.
This addresses #12794 so that we now have only a single tarball where we
base our build on instead of splitting the source into different outputs
first and then reference the outputs.
The reason I did this in the first place is that we previously built the
sandbox as a different derivation and unpacking the whole source tree
just for building the sandbox was a bit too much.
As we now have namespaces sandbox built in by default we no longer have
that derivation anymore. It still might come up however if we want to
build NaCl as a separate derivation (see #8560), but splitting the
source code into things only NaCl might require is already too much work
and doesn't weight out the benefits.
Another issue with the source splitup is that Hydra now has an output
limit for non-fixed-output derivations which we're already hitting.
Tested the build against the stable channel and it went well, but I
haven't tested running the browser.

This has been introduced by me in 690a845 and discovered by @vcunat in
his comment over at:
690a845de9 (commitcomment-14209868)
It's really a bit ugly to have builds running during evaluation, but
back when I made that commit the reason was to avoid having to shell
quote the hell out of it (see the comment in mkPluginInfo for the
reason).
Now we propagate plugin flags and environment variables as a list of
arguments in a plain file that's appended verbatim to makeWrapper, so
it shouldn't do any builds anymore during instantiation.
I have tested this with both just WideVine and just Flash enabled as
well as both in combination and none of the plugins and the output seems
correct. However I didn't test to run Chromium with the new
implementation.

Built and run Beta and Stable locally. Dev is surrently superseded by Stable so
it doesn't matter much.
- Dev: 47.0.2508.0 -> 48.0.2564.22
- Beta: 46.0.2490.64 -> 48.0.2564.23
- Stable: 45.0.2454.101 -> 47.0.2526.73
Changed the SSL dependencies to the supported configuration on Linux (according
to Torne @Freenode/#chromium-support).
- NSS is a dependency since it is used to access the ceritiface store.
- Dropped system OpenSSL support, the bundled BoringSSL is used.
This probably fixes issue #10555. Note that without this adjustment the build
fails even.
Dropped uneeded old patches.
Since 0aad4b7, we no longer need to have an external sandbox binary,
because the upstream implementation of the user namespace sandbox no
longer needs an external sandbox binary.
In our implementation of the user namespace sandbox, we (ab)used the
setuid sandbox to run non-setuid and set up user namespaces instead.
Because our implementation is no longer needed, we can safely drop the
external binary entirely.
