Make private browsing always throw

We were throwing an exception when private browsing is enabled on target
SDK versions >= K. The WebView ctor overload that accepts the private
browsing boolean has been deprecated a long while ago and the doc says:
"Private browsing is no longer supported directly via WebView and will
be removed in a future release." Moreover, torne@ mentioned that private
browsing was never really used by apps.

Now, it will throw an exception in all cases irrespective of the target
SDK version.

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.
