I'm giving up on this after several attempts to correctly unbundle the
largest part, namely Google's WebKit fork Blink. Right now it's so much
tied into the Chromium source it's going to be fairly hard to do if
you're not working full time on it.
Also, the intermediate steps needed to do this properly would introduce
uneccesary complexity on our side, so we really need to finish this
without leaving it in the "messy" state in order to not make Chromium
even more difficult to maintain than it is already.
However, anyone who wants to proceed on this messy step is free to
revert this commit and continue doing so. In my case I'm going to try
again once https://crbug.com/239107 and https://crbug.com/239181 are
fixed in _stable_ (I don't want to introduce *lots* of conditionals on
the version either).

We obviously don't want the Hydra job of nixpkgs to fail, so we need to
make sure that we have a proper meta attribute on the outermost
derivation.
For builds based on the Chromium source tree (like for example libcef),
we can still move the wrapper elsewhere when we need it.

This is because of our symlink mess, as Chromium's build support scripts
are trying to resolve everything based on absolute paths and we split
off the bundled sources from the main derivation.
Yes, I'm refering to this as a mess, because in the end, we're going to
patch up the gyp files and use references someday.

Now, we no longer tie the sandbox directly to the browser derivation but
wrap everything together into one derivation at the entry point at
default.nix.

So far we just copied everything from source.* into the build directory
during the prePatch. This somewhat defeated the purpose of the source
splitup because it involved more I/O than just unpacking the entire
source tree.
Now, we're selectively *symlinking* the bundled sources into the build
directory. Even that isn't perfect because in the end we'd just
reference foreign derivations and we're done. But for now, this gets us
at least prepared for a massive reduction of compile time.
Unfortunately, gyp's behaviour when it comes to symlinks is quite
painful to come by, so we need to fix a few references to use absolute
paths.

We now no longer pass enablePepperFlash and enablePepperPDF to the
browser package itself and only use plugins.flagsEnabled from there.

This currently only passes through the arguments and is nothing more
than the foundation of the new structure. In essence, I want to have a
really small default.nix which is then going down into the respective
subparts that are isolated from each other.

This is hardcoded for the dev channel at the moment and we're going to
fetch it along with the main Chromium sources.
Also I'm putting this in default.nix at the moment, because we're going
to tear apart the whole Chromium package into several subparts soon.

We currently can't build the -lite package because beta and dev versions
aren't yet compatible with ICU version 52. But apart from that blocker,
this should get us ready for the switch.
Also, we're now correctly unbundling all dependencies which are used
from <nixpkgs>.

Starting with version 35, version 2 of libgnome_keyring is no longer
supported and it's probably pretty useless to do backports to version 2,
given the assumption that most users on Nix probably don't use it.

Okay, now this time we really broke beta and dev, because python_arch no
longer is in build/common.gypi anymore.
This just adds chrome/chrome_tests.gypi to the list of files to be
changed by sed.
Also, this time I did test at least whether gyp is running fine and
interrupted after the first 1000 build targets, so all channels *should*
now build fine.

Build failure on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/9823160
This was caused by the update of file in 5885709.
As file seems to be used for only one substition in the gyp files, we
can now drop the build dependency on file and patch out the substition
expression, as it is done before actually testing if the value has been
set by -D (gyp, y u no have lazy eval!?).
PS: Proudly untested against beta and dev channels, redeployed my own
Hydra and building on my workstation here really is ... annoying (lavg
41 on a system with nproc 8, less than 8 GB RAM and you probably will
have as much "fun" as I just had writing this commit mess...a....g
FUCK^H^H^H^H^H^H...e).

Since version 34, ICU data files are now created separately and thus
need to be installed as well.
