Revert 269415 "Introduce a new framework for back-and-forth trac..."
Reverting because this appears to have caused Linux TSAN redness.
> Introduce a new framework for back-and-forth tracked preference migration
> between Protected Preferences and unprotected Preferences.
>
> Migration from unprotected Preferences to Protected Preferences was previously
> done after both stores had been initialized. This was inherently incorrect as
> some operations (PrefHashFilter::FilterOnLoad) would occur before the values
> had been moved to the proper store. It also introduced a weird method in
> PrefHashFilter::MigrateValues which required an independent PrefHashFilter
> (backed by a copy of the real PrefHashStore). This after-the-fact migration
> caused Settings.TrackedPreferenceCleared spikes when changing a value from
> being enforced to not being enforced (as we'd have a MAC, but no value yet in
> this store when running FilterOnLoad()) and more importantly it also caused
> issue 365769 -- both of these issues highlight the incorrectness of the
> current approach.
>
> The migration back from Protected Preferences to unprotected Preferences when
> enforcement was disabled was using yet another mechanism which would only kick
> in when a given pref was written to (ref. old non-const
> SegregatedPrefStore::StoreForKey()).
>
> The new framework intercepts PrefFilter::FilterOnLoad() events for both stores
> and does the back-and-forth migration in place before it even hands them back
> to the PrefFilter::FinalizeFilterOnLoad() which then hands it back to the
> JsonPrefStores (so that they are agnostic to the migration; from their point
> of view their values were always in their store as they received it).
> Furthermore, this new framework will easily allow us to later move MACs out of
> Local State into their respective stores (which is a task on our radar which
> we currently have no easy way to accomplish).
>
> The new framework also handles read errors better. For example, it was
> previously possible for the unprotected->protected migration to result in data
> loss if the protected store was somehow read-only from a read error while the
> unprotected store wasn't -- resulting in an in-memory migration only flushed
> to disk in the store from which the value was deleted... The new framework
> handles those cases, preferring temporary data duplication over potential data
> loss (duplicated data is cleaned up once confirmation is obtained that the new
> authority for this data has been successfully written to disk -- it will even
> try again in following Chrome runs if it doesn't succeed in this one).
>
> Note: This CL helped LSAN discover an existing leak in post_task_and_reply_impl.cc, see issue 371974 for details.

> BUG=365769, 371974
> TEST=
> A) Make sure all kTrackedPrefs consistently report
> Settings.TrackedPreferenceUnchanged across changes from various enforcement
> levels (using --force-fieldtrials).
> B) Make sure the prefs are properly migrated to their new store (and
> subsequently cleaned up from their old store) when changing the
> enforcement_level across multiple runs.
> C) Make sure prefs are properly migrated in a quick startup/shutdown with a
> new enforcement_level and that their old value is properly cleaned up in a
> subsequent startup at the same enforcement_level (or re-migrated at another
> enforcement_level).
