Since the sync_chromium.py script always passes --revision
to the gclient sync command, we don't need to have
managed=True in the .gclient file.
This will avoid a warning that confuses our developers.
BUG=3776
TESTED=Removed my chromium/.last_sync_chromium and performed
a gclient sync with this patch applied. No warning complaining
about Managed mode appears.

This should save several gigabytes of traffic and disk space.
On Linux this is about 2.6 GB:
346M src/chrome/tools/test/reference_build
340M src/native_client
170M src/third_party/ffmpeg
1.5G src/third_party/WebKit
196M src/v8
BUG=2863
TESTED=Removed the directories locally, ran a sync and verified they didn't reappear (or fail because of platform-specific ones).

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.
