[Profiles] Add DestroyProfileOnBrowserClose flag
Currently, (non-OffTheRecord) Profile objects are only destroyed when
the entire browser exits.
This patch adds an DestroyProfileOnBrowserClose flag, which causes the
Profile object to be destroyed when the last window in that profile
closes. It works, but it can cause crashes or instability in some cases,
so it's off-by-default for now.
This patch does not work well with ephemeral/guest profiles, or
background mode.
