Fix for Bug 50726 "Save extension list and "winning" prefs from extensions"

This is a redesign for http://codereview.chromium.org/4852002/ following discussions.

The goal of this patch is to ensure that Chrome maintains the order in which extensions apply their preferences between restarts. This may be an issue if two extensions overwrite each others preferences. Furthermore, it ensures that preferences are persisted to disk between browser restarts. Therefore, previous settings are immediately available when the browser is restarted.

A description of the design has been published https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1E_HX_cUpET1gH2gDunGIU1EOywMM6FEOuVU6TlpnSwo/edit?hl=en for review and comments. - Sorry, accessible Google internally only.
