// Background and implementation details:
//
// Each experiment group in any field trial can come with an optional set of
// parameters (key-value pairs). In the bundled omnibox experiment
// (kBundledExperimentFieldTrialName), each experiment group comes with a
// list of parameters in the form:
// key=<Rule>:
// <OmniboxEventProto::PageClassification (as an int)>:
// <whether Instant Extended is enabled (as a 1 or 0)>
// (note that there are no linebreaks in keys; this format is for
// presentation only>
// value=<arbitrary string>
// Both the OmniboxEventProto::PageClassification and the Instant Extended
// entries can be "*", which means this rule applies for all values of the
// matching portion of the context.
// One example parameter is
// key=SearchHistory:6:1
// value=PreventInlining
// This means in page classification context 6 (a search result page doing
// search term replacement) with Instant Extended enabled, the SearchHistory
// experiment should PreventInlining.
//
// When an exact match to the rule in the current context is missing, we
// give preference to a wildcard rule that matches the instant extended
// context over a wildcard rule that matches the page classification
// context. Hopefully, though, users will write their field trial configs
// so as not to rely on this fall back order.
//
// In short, this function tries to find the value associated with key
// |rule|:|page_classification|:|instant_extended|, failing that it looks up
// |rule|:*:|instant_extended|, failing that it looks up
// |rule|:|page_classification|:*, failing that it looks up |rule|:*:*,
// and failing that it returns the empty string.
