[sync] Allow auto-start even if sync disabled via dashboard on Ash

This is a minor behavioral change to avoid special-casing the rare
scenario where sync was disabled via dashboard on Ash and, upon profile
startup, no sync metadata exists.

The latter condition should be extra rare because, even if sync (the
feature) was disabled via dashboard, sync-the-transport gets activated
anyway and will quickly populate sync metadata.

Although it's not obvious from the code diff, the removed code is only
reachable if ShouldAutoStartSyncFeature() returns true and
IsLocalSyncEnabled() returns false, which means that
IsSyncFeatureConsideredRequested() -now removed- is equivalent to
!user_settings_->IsSyncFeatureDisabledViaDashboard(), representing the
actual behavioral difference.

As per rationale above, there is no good reason to keep complexity in
the logic and the call to IsSyncFeatureConsideredRequested() can be
avoided altogether.

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.
