Make channel selection via setup.exe --channel on Windows sticky.

Among other things:

Use a channel override as the only source of truth for channel
determination for the primary install mode on Windows (i.e., stable
channel installs). Neither the installer nor the browser now bases its
channel on the "ap" value. Channel determination is now done in
setup.exe by --channel=foo (which is provided by the update server for
all updates driven by Google Update) and in chrome.exe by the "channel"
value in Chrome's Clients key (which is provided to the browser by
setup.exe).

Since "ap" (additional parameters) is no longer the source,
ChannelStrategy::ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS is now known as FLOATING.

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.
