Add dedicated flag in chrome://flags for FedCM interception
This CL splits the WebID feature into 2:
Part#1: FedCM JavaScript API https://wicg.github.io/FedCM/
Part#2: HTTP filter which observes HTTP traffic,
detects if an HTTP request is likely for authentication, and displays
FedCM browser UI if the HTTP request is likely for authentication.
The reason for the split is that we are planning on going to dev trial
with the JavaScript API but without the HTTP filtering.
This CL switches the chrome://flags WebID flag from having 2 states to
having 3
State #1: FedCM disabled
State #2: FedCM JavaScript API enabled but HTTP filtering off
State #3: FedCM JavaScript API enabled and HTTP filtering off
This CL also renames flag related code from WebID->FedCM.
