Prerender: Allow prerendering pages to create blob URL

Previously, prerendering pages cannot create blob URLs, as this API
uses a sync IPC to communicate, and we would cancel prerendering by
default in this case to ensure prerendering is safe.
After auditing it (see reasoning), we think creating an object URL seems
safe, and we can grant it during prerendering.

Reasoning:
- The blob url should be same-origin as the prerendering origin, so we
  do not touch other origins.
- The security concerns should be addressed by this API.

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.
