The skia patch no longer applies, and is no longer necessary.
The current version of chromium doesn't build with gcc. This has been
fixed upstream[1] and could be backported, but switching aarch64 to
clang/llvm and making the build the same on all platforms is simpler.

Disable jumbo mode because upstream dropped support for it.
(See chromium-dev "We're removing support for the jumbo build")
This makes builds take about 3x as long, but we have no alternative.
Upstream moved libwidevinecdm.so from
./opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdm.so
to
./opt/google/chrome-unstable/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/libwidevinecdm.so
This change allows widevine to work in chromium (it was previously
broken due to a segfault). Newer versions of chromium do not use the
libwidevinecdmadapter.so. Instead, libwidevinecdm.so should be installed
in the chromium libExec directory.
Upstream provides a much more featureful desktop entry file. If we use
that we take advantage of all of those features and don't have to maintain it
ourselves.
Also fix such obsolete flags:
* `use_gconf` was already known to become obsolete with Chromium 65
* `enable_hotwording` has been removed in upstream commit d693f0c7ab
Before version 54, the WideVine CDM plugin was built unconditionally and
it seems since version 54 this now is dependent upon a GYP/GN flag on
whether to include the CDM shared library or not.
Also, we now use a patch from Gentoo which should hopefully get the CDM
plugin to work properly, at least according to their bugtracker:

So far we had the bundled Flash player plugin that came with Chrome, but
since version 54 the Chrome package doesn't include PPAPI Flash anymore.
Instead we're going to download the PPAPI Flash plugin directly from
Adobe and try to use them for all release channels of Chromium.
Of course it would be nice if we'd have an updater for it but for now
it's important that we don't break things for people who are currently
forced to use Flash.

Previously I've added the extra file common-gn.nix in addition to
common.nix, so we can possibly have a smooth transition from current
stable to the new version 54.
Unfortunately, version 53 is already EOL and we have to move to version
54 as soon as possible so we can only use GN and thus it doesn't make
sense to provide expressions for GYP anymore.

This should now be the upstream default and there also is no more flag
for GN to set it, so we'll no longer need it on our side as well.

This only uses the most basic GN flags which should represent the GYP
flags we had before. In order to get rid most of the GYP cruft, we now
have common.nix and common-gn.nix which are mostly the same, just that
the latter is only for GN builds.
The GN implementation is far from complete and currently not even
builds, so we need more work to get the beta and dev channels building.
