ARC++: Add support for Dropbox authentication via custom data scheme

Reported by krzyszto...@gmail.com, Jul 15 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8530.13.0 (Official Build) dev-channel samus

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Try to authenticate Dropbox via a db-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx custom data scheme while using Dropbox SDK.

What is the expected behavior?
Dropbox authentication via custom data scheme should be successful.

What went wrong?
Dropbox authentication can't be performed, because Chrome OS does not allow launching external applications via custom schemes (see screenshot).

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.15  Channel: dev
OS Version: 53.0.2785.15
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0.0.200-r1

Is this an Android thing?

What happened to navigator.registerProtocolHandler ?

Seems like URL handlers are the newer way ?

Yes, the custom data scheme is sent by a standard Android intent (the metadata below is from the AndroidManifest.xml):

<activity android:name="com.dropbox.client2.android.AuthActivity"
      android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout"
      android:launchMode="singleTask" >
      <intent-filter>
        <data android:scheme="db-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
	<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
	<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
	<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
</activity>

After sending an intent we are waiting for a web browser for a result of the authentication.

It started to work after one of the updates!
