Move background thread pool experiment to synthetic trial

Currently, the experiment to study the effect of background thread pool
on Android with and without priority inheritance locks uses server-side
field trials but upon review of the field data the field trials are set
up too late to take effect on the thread pool and the locks of interest.
For this, we repurpose an existing, inactive background thread pool
synthetic trial for the current experiment with a few modifications
which allows us to drive the synthetic field trial from a server-side
field trial using CachedFlags at the Java layer.

The synthetic field trial is also split into two mutually exclusive
trials to mimic the current faulty server-side field trial such that
only those clients whose kernels support priority inheritance futexes
are eligible for the priority inheritance supported synthetic field
trial. The core idea behind this is that it allows us to study the
effects of priority inheritance locks separately from background thread
pools.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure.

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
