Currently the Chrome OS demo app and the GetHelp app need to know whether,
a.) The device they are running on can run ARC++
b.) If ARC++ is enabled on the device
This will allow these apps to make decision about their content. Since we launch these apps from within Chrome OS, we should provide additional fields in the launch parameters of onLaunched (https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_runtime#event-onLaunched).
This is the cleanest way to do so since it avoids any need for whitelisting. An app that we launch as the demo app, or as the GetHelp app, will have these values at launch.
