The update process of Chromium has been a bit bumpy on our side, because
version 54 also did the switch from GYP to GN so it wasn't just a matter
of updating the upstream-info file.

I've tested the Flash plugin (which runs fine) and WideVine manually,
although I couldn't get WideVine to work (I was running this within a VM
though).

So if people want to use WideVine they need to use Chrome instead until
we got this sorted out.

VM test results along with builds for all platforms can be found here:

I'm going to backport these changes to stable as soon as the
tests/builds succeed there as well.
