WebKit Issue 73056 - Small fix for BiDi selection.

WebKit Issue 63903 - Fixed WebKit's implementation of bdo, bdi, and output elements to match HTML5 spec section 10.3.5.

r111156 - Desktop shortcuts will be created for each user account, to launch Chrome with that account active.

Mac

The PDF viewer now renders nicer looking text.

r111426 - Plugins using the Core Animation rendering model are now rendered through Chrome’s compositor rather than directly to the screen. This should have no user visible side effects; please file bugs and cc: kbr@chromium.org if any unexpected issues are seen with plugin rendering on Mac.
