Only allow a single process to be associated with a policy

TargetPolicy was designed to work with multiple registered processes.
However in Chrome we only ever use a 1:1 mapping between process and
policy. This is because we create specific tokens, and pass specific
lists of handles, jobs etc. which cannot be shared between processes.

This CL changes PolicyBase to no longer have a list of associated
processes, and removes the lock that is no longer necessary. The
method to apply a policy to a process is now renamed to ApplyToTarget.

A follow-up CL will modify chrome://sandbox to no longer use a list
of pids when displaying policies. As it stands the existing list has
one member.

Sandbox Library

This directory contains platform-specific sandboxing libraries. Sandboxing is a technique that can improve the security of an application by separating untrustworthy code (or code that handles untrustworthy data) and restricting its privileges and capabilities.

Each platform relies on the operating system's process primitive to isolate code into distinct security principals, and platform-specific technologies are used to implement the privilege reduction. At a high-level:

  • mac/ uses the Seatbelt sandbox. See the detailed design for more.
  • linux/ uses namespaces and Seccomp-BPF. See the detailed design for more.
  • win/ uses a combination of restricted tokens, distinct job objects, alternate desktops, and integrity levels. See the detailed design for more.

Built on top of the low-level sandboxing library is the //sandbox/policy component, which provides concrete policies and helper utilities for sandboxing specific Chromium processes and services. The core sandbox library cannot depend on the policy component.
