[Pepper] Introduce toggles for support of PPB_VideoDecoder(Dev) API

As far as we know, the PPB_VideoDecoder(Dev) API has no remaining users.
We are looking to eliminate its implementation to simplify the codebase
and unblock GPU refactorings.

This CL introduces a base::Feature and command-line switch that each
control whether the API is supported, thus enabling us to safely roll
out elimination of support for the API. The base::Feature is
ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT in this CL to avoid making any functional changes at
this point.

NOTE: The command-line switch is unused in this CL but will be used by
a followup CL that introduces an enterprise escape hatch policy that
needs to be propagated from the browser to the renderer.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
