Chrome Patches for Second Screen Use - Was: Re: HTML Slidy remote - a Presentation API demo

Hi Mark,

> If you would like any help porting your patches to a more recent version of Chromium please let me or Anton know.   If you have a @chromium.org account you can upload them here and it will be easy for us to patch them in.  Otherwise just send an archive.

The patches might still apply, but I haven’t tried in a while. I uploaded them after doing the initial prototype.

They are referenced from: http://webscreens.github.io/demo/

1) https://codereview.chromium.org/98523003/ "Implement "presentation" feature for window.open()”
2) https://codereview.chromium.org/108333006/ "Adding a navigation policy for the "presentation" feature in window.open()”

So, the approach was to give a special “presentation” attribute to window.open and extend Chrome’s behaviour to go fullscreen on the first available secondary display, the rest implemented as a JavaScript shim.

I don’t think they are ready to be merged into upstream as is, but I’ll open a separate thread on how to coordinate implementation work.
