Initial commit of the App Host stub.

Initial commit of the App Host stub.

This stub will be installed at user level when a user installs Chrome apps. Shortcuts to those Chrome apps should point to the stub, rather than to Chrome. The stub dynamically locates a chrome.exe installed at either user- or system- level, and will eventually even trigger an installation of the Chrome binaries (not Chrome itself) if they are not installed. Once chrome.exe is located, it is launched with the same command-line flags as originally passed to the app host.

BUG=None
TEST=execute app_host.exe, confirm it launches Chrome.

chrome/browser/extensions/app_host_stub_main.cc:14: const wchar_t kChromeExe[] =
L"chrome.exe";
I'm looking for confirmation that the wchar_t type is consistent with our style
guidelines, but I'm not going to hold up the review for it.
