Extended stable channel detection for Google Chrome on Windows.

- install_static::DetermineChannel now handles a channel override value
  of "extended". In this case, the channel is "" (for stable) and a new
  bool is returned indicating that it's really extended stable.
- install_static::InstallDetails retains the
  `is_extended_stable_channel` bool determined above for the process and
  install_static::IsExtendedStableChannel() now returns its value.
- install_static::InstallDetails now retains the true value of the
  channel override from which the channel was determined when the
  channel originates from an override. For an install following the
  extended stable update channel, this will be "extended".
- setup.exe now writes the override value above into the "channel" value
  of Chrome's Clients key so that the browser's channel detection can
  differentiate regular from extended stable in the same way as the
  installer.

With these changes, "setup.exe --channel=extended" now results in a
Google Chrome browser for which chrome::IsExtendedStableChannel()
returns true and chrome::GetChannelName() returns "" or "extended" based
on the chrome::WithExtendedStable value provided by the caller.

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.
