Skip GetCommandLineString DCHECK in installer

This change allows the installer to bypass a DCHECK in CommandLine.
The DCHECK enforces that no arguments are parsed by
QuoteForCommandLineToArgvW with syntax "%*", e.g., %1, %2, etc. These
argument placeholders are called "insert sequences" and are used by
the Windows shell.

The DCHECK is intended to prevent new code from generating a command
line for the Windows shell by parsing a string like "chrome.exe %1"
instead of using the purpose-built GetCommandLineStringForShell().

However, setup.exe does generate a command line from string for itself
that contains placeholders, and has no need for the special syntax
created by GetCommandLineStringForShell(). Its use case is known to be
safe because the insert sequence %1 is substituted by Google Update in
a safe way. In order to support this call site, this change adds
GetCommandLineStringWithUnsafeInsertSequences(), which skips the
DCHECK, and invokes it in the setup code in question.

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.
