Avoid generating full document metafiles in PrintRenderHelper

The print compositor is now able to concurrently generate the print
document while compositing the individual pages for preview.  When this
is happening we can improve the renderer by not collecting and
capturing a full document object.

Testing:  On Windows platform watching the "Peak Private Bytes" in
Process Explorer, observed an increase of renderer process memory of
only 59MB, roughly about the size of one page's worth of metadata.  This
is much less than the hundreds of megabytes that it used to grow by when
the renderer would still create the full document metafile.  This was
observed for the testcase [1] (taken from prior issue 872935).

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.

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.
