[M138] preload-topchrome: experimentally reduce number of navigations

The preload candidate selector currently excludes background WebUIs
(i.e. WebUIs that are preloaded and pending to be shown) from preload
candidates. This could cause unnecessary preloading. Consider the
following situation.

- Assuming WebUI A and WebUI B are two preloadable WebUIs.
- At the beginning, WebUI A is preloaded.
- A new preloading is triggered (e.g. BrowserView creation)
- WebUI B is selected to be preloaded.

The preloading of WebUI B is unnecessary. A better strategy is to
preload nothing, because WebUI A is already preloaded and still in the
background.

This CL adds this new preload strategy under feature flag
PreloadTopChromeWebUILessNavigations.

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.
