Add webrtc field trials API.

From now on it is expected that code linking system_wrappers.gyp:system_wrappers
provides an implementation for field_trial API or links with the default one in
system_wrappers.gyp:field_trial_default.

Note: Since there is no use of webrtc::field_trial API inside webrtc this CL on
itself does not forces the clients to actually define it. It however lays the
API and updates the gyp rules to link with so that it is ready to use.

Tested: Introduced a use of field trial in system wrappers and make sure all
bots were building successfully.

+// in binaries out in the field and gather information with that.
+//
+// WebRTC clients MUST provide an implementation of:

+//   std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial).

+//   system_wrappers/source/system_wrappers.gyp:field_trial_default
+//
+//
+// They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up
+// developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is
+// on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different
+// trade-off between CPU/bandwidth:
+//
+// 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off:
+//
+//   if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimenMethod2") == "Enabled")
+//     method2();
+//   else
+//     method1();
+//
+// 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be
+//     controlled as normal chrome field trials.
+//
+// 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths.
+//
+// Notes:
+//   - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as
+//     it may require negotation between involved parties (e.g. SDP).
+//
+// TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial
+//     as active it does not gets propaged to renderer process. For now one
+//     needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch
+//     server.
