The .gclient_entries file is written after a successful
gclient sync operation and contains paths mapped to URLs for
all DEPS entries that have been synced.
This has been causing problems for users when switching from
the legacy Subversion based checkouts to the new DEPS approach
using a Chromium Git checkout combined with symlinks.
Also it has been discovered that when entries have been
removed from the Chromium DEPS file, subsequent gclient sync
operations fail when it's trying to process those directories.
This CL changes so that .gclient_entries is wiped for the WebRTC
checkout when moving from the legacy SVN to Git.
It also wipes the chromium/.gclient_entries file when a new Chromium
revision is about to be synced, to avoid problems when DEPS entries
have been removed.

Restructure how the Android APK tests are compiled now
that we have a Chromium checkout available (since r6938).
This removes the need of several hacks that were needed when
building these targets from inside a Chromium checkout.
By creating a symlink to Chromium's base we can compile the required
targets. This also removes the need of the previously precompiled
binaries we keep in /deps/tools/android at Google code.
All the user needs to do is to add the target_os = ["android"]
entry to his .gclient as described at
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions
Before committing this CL, the Android APK buildbots will need
to be updated.
This also solves http://crbug.com/402594 since the apply_svn_patch.py
usage will be similar to the other standalone bots.

WebRTC standalone shares a lot of dependencies and build
tools with Chromium. To make the build work, many of the
paths of a Chromium checkout is now emulated by creating
symlinks to files and directories.
All DEPS entries that previously used Var("chromium_trunk")
to reference a Chromium checkout or From("chromium_deps"..)
to reference the Chromium DEPS file are now removed and
replaced by symlink entries in setup_links.py.
The script also handles cleanup of the legacy
Subversion-based dependencies that's needed for the
transition.
Windows: One Windows-specific important change is that
gclient sync|runhooks must now be run from a shell
with Administrator privileges in order to be able to create
symlinks. This also means that Windows XP is no longer
supported.
To transition a previously created checkout:
Run "python setup_links.py --force" to cleanup the old
SVN-based dependencies that have been synced by gclient sync.
For Buildbots, the --force flag is automatically enabled for
their syncs.
