The update process of Chromium has been a bit bumpy on our side, because
version 54 also did the switch from GYP to GN so it wasn't just a matter
of updating the upstream-info file.
I've tested the Flash plugin (which runs fine) and WideVine manually,
although I couldn't get WideVine to work (I was running this within a VM
though).
So if people want to use WideVine they need to use Chrome instead until
we got this sorted out.
VM test results along with builds for all platforms can be found here:

I'm going to backport these changes to stable as soon as the
tests/builds succeed there as well.

Versions before 56 already had experimental support for Gtk 3 and since
version 56, Gtk 3 _seemed_ to become the default. Although it's now
requiring *both* Gtk 2 and Gtk3, so let's supply the dependency for now
to get it to build.
In the future however we might want to add use_gtk3 to the GN flags and
get rid of Gtk 2 completely.

Before version 54, the WideVine CDM plugin was built unconditionally and
it seems since version 54 this now is dependent upon a GYP/GN flag on
whether to include the CDM shared library or not.
Also, we now use a patch from Gentoo which should hopefully get the CDM
plugin to work properly, at least according to their bugtracker:

Overview of updated versions:
stable: 54.0.2840.71 -> 54.0.2840.90
beta: 55.0.2883.21 -> 55.0.2883.35
dev: 56.0.2897.0 -> 56.0.2906.0
This is to get our Chromium versions in par with the latest upstream
ones before merging in the GN migration changes.

So far we had the bundled Flash player plugin that came with Chrome, but
since version 54 the Chrome package doesn't include PPAPI Flash anymore.
Instead we're going to download the PPAPI Flash plugin directly from
Adobe and try to use them for all release channels of Chromium.
Of course it would be nice if we'd have an updater for it but for now
it's important that we don't break things for people who are currently
forced to use Flash.

Seems that these libraries aren't the ones Chromium is expecting to be,
so let's switch to use the bundled version of these libraries instead.

Previously I've added the extra file common-gn.nix in addition to
common.nix, so we can possibly have a smooth transition from current
stable to the new version 54.
Unfortunately, version 53 is already EOL and we have to move to version
54 as soon as possible so we can only use GN and thus it doesn't make
sense to provide expressions for GYP anymore.

This should now be the upstream default and there also is no more flag
for GN to set it, so we'll no longer need it on our side as well.

This only uses the most basic GN flags which should represent the GYP
flags we had before. In order to get rid most of the GYP cruft, we now
have common.nix and common-gn.nix which are mostly the same, just that
the latter is only for GN builds.
The GN implementation is far from complete and currently not even
builds, so we need more work to get the beta and dev channels building.

This is the standalone version of GN used currently solely for building
Chromium. An upstream bug report is available at
https://crbug.com/504074 to support a standalone build without needing
various components from the Chromium source tree.
Because there isn't a standalone vrsion available, I'm choosing
0.0.0.${date} as the version scheme here so that we don't conflict with
versioned releases from upstream someday[TM].

Some games (in my case Stardew Valley) require at least something in
/etc/localtime. The actual file linked there doesn't matter as long as
it's some valid timezone.
