Relanding this as the previous attempt failed due to build errors.
This is continuation of the ongoing work for bug https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?can=2&q=237249
which is splitting chrome.dll into a browser and renderer component due to build issues on Windows.
Changes in this CL as below:-
1 Move the plugins sources out of the webkit glue target into a new target 'plugins' which creates a static lib/dll
depending on the component build flag.
This target is specified by the newly added webkit_plugins.gypi file in the webkit\plugins folder. This is included
by webkit_support.gyp. The motivation for moving the plugins out to an independent target is to enable the chrome
browser code to link to the plugins without depending on glue.
2. We have a plugins_common target in webkit_plugins.gypi which builds a static lib and contains common plugin functionality
like plugin_utils, webplugininfo, etc. Next step is to move the plugin list sources to this common target as we want to avoid
browser to depend on Webkit through plugins. That would need some code changes which I wanted to avoid in this CL.
3. The 'glue' target in webkit_glue.gypi currently depends on webkit_media which sadly depends on plugins because of the HTML5
DRM code. I moved files which are needed by plugins and other consumers like browsers into a static lib target 'glue_common'
'glue' now depends on 'glue_common' and 'plugins'. 'plugins' depends on 'glue_common'.
4. The other targets like 'renderer', etc also depend on 'glue_common'.
Will move the common plugin files to the newly added webkit common folder in an upcoming CL.
