Renderer warm up

Project Member Reported by smaier@chromium.org, Aug 3 2016 
We want to investigate the benefits of starting a renderer process before we need one in Android. Starting a new process is costly for us, so this optimization will sidestep the startup time for the new process, while potentially costing us more RAM.

Some things I want to investigate:

1) Does reduced renderer startup time actually matter? What evidence is there that shortening the time from request renderer -> connection actually affects the user?
2) Can we make this warmed up renderer process a background process so that it gets killed first?
3) When is the best time to warm up a renderer process?

Some preliminary research is here.
