Moved common parts of ChildProcessHost into chrome/common and created a BrowserChildProcessHost with browser-specific implementation. This is in preparation of creating a ServiceChildProcessHost.
BUG=None TEST=Test for regressions . Review URL: http://codereview.chromium.org/2885017 git-svn-id: svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src@51593 0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98
