Don't link the component updater into libsoda

The update client is defined as a static library rather than a
component. For various reasons, it would be difficult to refactor the
library to be a component. This has lead to a situation in which
updater client symbols are duplicated across different dynamic
libraries (e.g. libsoda & libchrome).

Typically, having duplicate symbols from different dynamic libraries
is not an issue, however duplicate Objective-C classes will cause a
log warning to be fired. We recently added a background downloader on
Mac which has Obj-C classes. The warning message fires very frequently
in component builds of Chrome, which is quite annoying.

To fix this, we would like to have libsoda not include this symbol. To
do so, we have separated the path definitions into a separate static
library for SODA to depend on.

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.
