webview instrumentation tests are much flakier in multi process mode

Project Member Reported by mvanouwe...@chromium.org, May 25 2016

Issue description

The Android webview instrumentation tests seem to be much flakier in multi-process mode.

For example on this bot:
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester?numbuilds=200

https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4026
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4025
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4024
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4023
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4022
https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromium.android/builders/Marshmallow%20Tablet%20Tester/builds/4021

Look for tests marked with --webview-sandboxed-renderer:
AwContentsClientFullScreenTest#testOnShowCustomViewAndPlayWithHtmlControl_video with {--webview-sandboxed-renderer}

I discussed this offline with Torne and Toby. They had a few ideas:
- Multi-process may require more resources and on some bots these tests will be more flaky.
- The renderer may be crashing, are we getting mini dumps from it?

cc'ing Bo as he was looking at test flakiness recently. It looks like the majority of the recent flakes on all the test bots are only for multiprocess mode, and there's a lot of them. (there are still a few singleprocess flakes as well but they are relatively infrequent).
