Make spellchecking opt-in on Chrome for Android

Project Member Reported by timvolod...@chromium.org, Sep 14 2016

Issue description

Make spellchecking on Android off by default for performance and battery saving. Spellchecking can be enabled/disabled explicitly using the spellcheck attribute on spellcheck capable elements (e.g. text <input> elements and elements with the contenteditable="true" attribute)

Final resolution is that the default is on for clank to match desktop behaviour, and off for WebView to avoid changing behaviour for applications.

Summary: Make spellchecking opt-in on Chrome for Android (was: Make spellchecking opt-in on Android)
webview opt-in addressed in  crbug.com/652314 . I'd rather keep this bug open for future reference (also changed the title to specifically address chrome on android).
+made it non-blocking.
