I just realized this: we already have a 'proxy' API in the extension system that
this might get confused with. Can you think of a better name?

What about just renaming chromeOSInfoPrivate.get to chromeosPrivate.getInfo, and
then renaming this to chromeOSPrivate.getTCPProxyToken() ?

I've renamed to webSocketProxyPrivate.getPassportForTCP
