Update //third_party dependency requirements.

In some situations a third_party dependency might have its own
third_party dependencies. The current wording of the third_party
requirements makes it sound like the dependencies must be moved
to Chromium's //third_party directory. While this is ideal, we
don't actually have to be quite this strict and can live with
dependencies being checked out into a nested third_party.

For example, //third_party/dawn has a dependency on GLFW, and its
okay for that dependency to be checkout out into
//third_party/dawn/third_party/glfw when part of a Chromium
checkout.

This CL updates the //docs/adding_to_third_party.md page to reflect
this.

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.
