Upstream moved libwidevinecdm.so from
./opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdm.so
to
./opt/google/chrome-unstable/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/libwidevinecdm.so
This change allows widevine to work in chromium (it was previously
broken due to a segfault). Newer versions of chromium do not use the
libwidevinecdmadapter.so. Instead, libwidevinecdm.so should be installed
in the chromium libExec directory.
Upstream provides a much more featureful desktop entry file. If we use
that we take advantage of all of those features and don't have to maintain it
ourselves.
Also fix such obsolete flags:
* `use_gconf` was already known to become obsolete with Chromium 65
* `enable_hotwording` has been removed in upstream commit d693f0c7ab
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:

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.

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.

Closes#17460
Changed the wrapper derivation to produce a second output containing the sandbox.
Add a launch wrapper to try and locate the sandbox (either in /var/setuid-wrappers or in /nix/store).
This launch wrapper also sheds libredirect.so from LD_PRELOAD as Chromium does not tolerate it.
Does not trigger a Chromium rebuild.

First step towards addressing #17460
In order to be able to run the SUID sandbox, which is good for security
and required to run Chromium with any kind of reasonable sandboxing when
using grsecurity kernels, we want to be able to control where the
sandbox comes from in the Chromium wrapper. This commit patches the
appropriate bit of source and adds the same old sandbox to the wrapper
(so it should be a no-op)
Regression introduced by f28b71023c.
Let's now expose and use the upstream-info attribute via the main
Chromium derivation, so that other packages like the google-chrome
package doesn't need to rely on internals of the Chromium
implementation.

This effectively resets the attributes given at the point the main
<nixpkgs> is imported and thus for example is also reading in stuff like
~/.nixpkgs/config.nix again, which might lead to unexpected results.
We now only import <nixpkgs> now if the updater is auto-called (like in
update.sh), otherwise the required attributes are passed by callPackage
within the Chromium scope.
I remember noting about this a while ago either on IRC or on GitHub, but
I can't find it right now, so thanks to @obadz for reminding me about
this in #15225.
Tested this by running the updater and also using:
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=$(pwd)/broken.nix nix-instantiate --arg config {} -A chromium
The contents of broken.nix were:
