[Windows] Fix error return from RunDeElevated

On error, base::win::RunDeElevated was returning an invalid
base::Process and relying on the Windows last error code being useful to
callers. While cleaning up the callstack on exit, it just so happens
that privilege restoration (specifically, the call eventually made to
LookupPrivilegeValue) was overwriting the error code with ERROR_SUCCESS.

To mitigate this, we change the result of RunDeElevated to
base::expected so that the error code is explicitly returned by the
function in case of error.

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.
