Unable to build or start debugging chrome.exe from Visual Studio

Project Member Reported by tmonius...@opera.com, Mar 22 2016

Issue description

(1) Run 'gn gen out/Debug --ide=vs'.
(2) Open all.sln.

There's no 'chrome' project in the solution. 'chrome' target is a group. GN groups are not converted to Visual Studio projects. It's not possible to build/debug chrome.exe from Visual Studio. Only chrome_initial project is available but initial/chrome.exe cannot be started.
