Fix gn build on 'Build From Tarball' bot

This is necessary to green-up the 'Build From Tarball' bot.  The bot is running
Trusty, which has a system libstdc++ that's too old to support many of the
features in base that gn relies on.

Here's the story of why this is now necessary:

1. Chromium's gn was originally built with libc++ to get around this exact
   issue.
2. gn was moved into a standalone repo.
3. The libc++ sources weren't copied into standalone gn, so their solution to
   fix this issue was to pull Chromium's debian sysroot that has newer libstdc++
   headers.
4. For whatever reason, the option to build with the sysroot was removed from
   the public repository and now the bots have a step to pull the sysroot.

This can be removed once Ubuntu Trusty reaches EOL, or when Chromium's
infrastructure is upgraded from Trusty to Xenial, whichever comes second
ideally.
