Subject: support mixed-sandbox with zygote
On Linux, Chromium launches all new renderer processes via a "zygote"
process which has the sandbox pre-initialized (see
//docs/linux_zygote.md). In order to support mixed-sandbox mode, in
which some renderers are launched with the sandbox engaged and others
without it, we need the option to launch non-sandboxed renderers without
going through the zygote.
Chromium already supports a `--no-zygote` flag, but it turns off the
zygote completely, and thus also disables sandboxing. This patch allows
the `--no-zygote` flag to affect renderer processes on a case-by-case
basis, checking immediately prior to launch whether to go through the
zygote or not based on the command-line of the to-be-launched renderer.
This patch could conceivably be upstreamed, as it does not affect
production Chromium (which does not use the `--no-zygote` flag).
However, the patch would need to be reviewed by the security team, as it
does touch a security-sensitive class.
