Evaluate Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) for Linux distribution for official release

Project Member Reported by agoode@chromium.org, Jun 21 2016

Issue description

We should look at flatpak for distributing official Chrome releases for Linux.

http://flatpak.org/#developers

This could eliminate the distro-specific packages and simplify building Chrome.

Any news? I guess it's blocked by this upstream bug:

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/953

Maybe you can finally at least provide Canary builds (with the sandbox turned off) for easier testing under Linux?

An offical commitment to flatpak by Google may also help decide the flatpak/snappy question and preventing it from becoming another waste of resources like upstart/systemd or mir/wayland.
