[sync] Decouple deferred initialization from unrelated prefs

Namely, IsInitialSyncFeatureSetupComplete() is about the user having
completed the procedure to turn sync on (including, if applicable, the
advanced sync settings page).

This concept has nothing to do with deferred startup, and influencing
one with another is very questionable. Moreover, the semantics for
IsInitialSyncFeatureSetupComplete() have no real meaning in the two
scenarios that exercise the modified code in SyncServiceImpl::Initialize(), that is, the two scenarios represented
by ShouldAutoStartSyncFeature()=true:
1) Local-sync, which doesn't require a user action to turn on the sync
   machinery.
2) ChromeOS Ash, which is similar from this point of view because the
   required user actions are taken in a platform-specific way and
   before SyncService is created.

This patch refactors the implementation to be less hacky, with minor
behavioral differences. This is because transport data is cleared more
often than the IsInitialSyncFeatureSetupComplete bit, namely in
all codepaths using DISABLE_SYNC_AND_CLEAR_DATA, which newly includes
unrecoverable errors and STOP_SYNC_FOR_DISABLED_ACCOUNT (enterprise
use-case).

Theoretically, this could lead to additional traffic to the server, but
in practice this is deemed negligible.

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.
