Add CPU reduction experiment.

This CL has two parts:

Part 1: This CL adds an experiment to base called
IsRunningCpuReductionExperiment. When enabled, several different
unrelated features will change their behavior to reduce overall CPU
consumption of chrome. As these features are unrelated, this experiment
must live in base as the only common dependency.

Part 2: This CL modifies 6 functions that emit UMA metrics to emit at
1/1000th of their current rate. Combined, the UMA metric emission from
these 6 functions are responsible for 0.33% of all CPU cycles on
ChromeOS, including time from non-chrome processes. This demonstrates
why the code in part 1 must live in base.

Future CLs will add more CPU-savings to the experiment before it is
enabled.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
