Hui Yingst 4e9dea8d3d Determine whether to use Skia renderer from browser process
Currently PDFium SDK determines whether to use Skia renderer in the
renderer process, and it's determined by feature flag (it's a choice
made by either the user or the finch experiment).

An enterprise policy will be created to also control the decision on
whether to use Skia renderer. Therefore the decision point needs to
be moved into the browser process.

This CL moves the feature flag check to the browser process before
the PDF plugin is created, and sends a `use_skia` flag through the
mime handler together with other PDF plugin attributes, so that the
logic of checking enterprise policy can be added in the browser
process in the future.

//pdf contains the PDF plugin, its Blink-based replacement, as well as PDF utility functions that leverage PDFium. It can use low-level components that live below the content layer, as well as other foundational code like //printing. It should not use //content or anything in //components that lives above the content layer. Code that lives above the content layer should live in //components/pdf, or in the embedder. All the code here should run in sandboxed child processes.

TODO(crbug.com/1220865): Remove existing //content dependencies.
