[PolicyContainer] Fix nullptr dereference

When committing a Javascript or a XSLT document, we must reuse the
policy container of the previous document.

In Blink, the `PolicyContainer` is attached to the `ExecutionContext`.
When committing a Javascript/XSLT document, a new `ExecutionContext`
for the new document is created, and we used to move the
`PolicyContainer` from the previous `ExecutionContext` into the new
one. This left the previous `ExecutionContext` without
`PolicyContainer`, and calling, for example,
`ExecutionContext::GetReferrerPolicy()` would trigger a nullptr
dereference.

It was my belief that the old `ExecutionContext` would not be used
anymore. However, this is not true. The test included in this CL shows
how `ExecutionContext::GetReferrerPolicy()` can actually be triggered
for the old `ExecutionContext`.

With this CL, we create a new `PolicyContainer` for the old
`ExecutionContext` with a copy of the previous policies. The new
`PolicyContainer` has no corresponding `PolicyContainerHost`. In fact,
any corresponding document should be detached and in practice this
`ExecutionContext` should be useless. However, having a valid
`PolicyContainer` avoids the need of nullptr checks.

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.
