Set rotation flag in WebPreferences constructor

The `main_frame_resizes_are_orientation_changes` setting is used in
Blink to perform certain rotation specific behaviors in the main frame.
This is enabled on devices that are typically hand-held like mobile and
tablets, but not on desktop where windows can be arbitrarily resized by
the user.

This setting was originally added in https://crrev.com/a41f8f60ba86a09
when experimenting with bringing mobile behaviors to desktop; this
made using a command-line switch convenient for testing. The value of
the preference was set based on the presence of the command-line switch
and Android Chrome simply always added this switch.

However, the switch is no longer needed and the more typical way to
initialize WebPreferences that differ between Android and desktop is to

This CL removes the switch and moves the Android/desktop initialization
into the constructor like most other preferences. This allows client
code to easily override the behavior when needed by changing the
WebPreference after building it (e.g. to disable the rotation behavior
in a fenced frame).

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.
