Make WebRTC work with Chromium Git checkouts
WebRTC standalone shares a lot of dependencies and build tools with Chromium. To make the build work, many of the paths of a Chromium checkout is now emulated by creating symlinks to files and directories. All DEPS entries that previously used Var("chromium_trunk") to reference a Chromium checkout or From("chromium_deps"..) to reference the Chromium DEPS file are now removed and replaced by symlink entries in setup_links.py. The script also handles cleanup of the legacy Subversion-based dependencies that's needed for the transition. Windows: One Windows-specific important change is that gclient sync|runhooks must now be run from a shell with Administrator privileges in order to be able to create symlinks. This also means that Windows XP is no longer supported. To transition a previously created checkout: Run "python setup_links.py --force" to cleanup the old SVN-based dependencies that have been synced by gclient sync. For Buildbots, the --force flag is automatically enabled for their syncs. BUG=2863, chromium:339647 TEST=Manual testing on Linux, Mac and Windows.
