Add BASE_FEATURE() / BASE_DECLARE_FEATURE() macros for defining features

There are subtle requirements around declaring and defining
base::Features. In addition, these requirements also evolve over time:
updating the various uses requires updating an estimated 6000+ uses.

Introduce helper macros modelled after absl's ABSL_FLAG() and
ABSL_DECLARE_FLAG() macros instead; in the future, base::Feature may
even become an internal implementation detail.

This also simplifies the helper script for autogenerating Java features
from C++ features, as it no longer needs to try to accommodate all
potential reorderings of `CONSTINIT`, `const`, and export macros.

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.
