chromium: fetch src from git instead of using release tarball
This builds upon Yureka's work to build electron from source.
A lot of the newly introduced changes to the chromium derivation and
update script are 1-to-1 copies or slight derivates of that work.

Especially the newly added depot_tools.py to resolve the DEPS files does
most of the heavy lifting and is an ever so slightly modified version of
that section Yureka implemented in electron's update.py.

Some coordination between the chromium and electron maintainers should
allow us to deduplicate a lot of the duplicated code fairly easily in
the future.

That just wasn't a goal with this commit, due to time constraints and
the urgency to switch away from the release tarballs.

Instead of taking just a few hours for a tarball to be available for
download after a release, it now takes multiple days at least.

At the time of writing, roughly a week after M131 was released, the
tarball is still not available. It's unclear if it will ever be.

Reason for this are CI issues on Google's side.

Note that virtually every release contains some security critical fixes.

Also note that this commit is written with a lot of conditionals so the
electron derivation doesn't change (just yet).

The new update.mjs update script is still very much work-in-progress but
gets the job done.
