Currently, the main thread WebThread is owned by the embedder. We'd
like to shift the ownership to Platform, so that we can stop exposing
WebThread to embedders.
As a first step, this patch introduces a new initialization method
Platform::CreateMainThreadAndInitialize(), which is parallel to
Platform::Initialize(). It is targeted to tests or other use cases
which only require a simple execution environment of Blink. Currently,
each embedder implements its own WebThread, but I'd like to unify
those and remove them from non-Blink code eventually.
The new CreateMainThreadAndInitialize() lets Platform own the main
thread WebThread object, unlike Initialize(). Currently, Platform
needs to handle two different cases: main thread owned or not owned,
but this is only temporary, and they will eventually converge to the
"owned" case.
As a test bed, v8_context_snapshot_generator is migrated to the
new initialization method.
