Support PDF Regeneration for Printing

Project Member Reported by rbpotter@chromium.org, Jan 13 2017 
Currently we send PDFs directly to the printer on ChromeOS and Linux, but certain PDFs do not print correctly on all printers. We have added a short-term workaround behind a flag to create a PDF of images of the pages, but the images increase the file size and decrease print quality. We want to add a different method to regenerate problematic PDFs.

When complete, should resolve: 534945, 550205, 480628

Presumably when PDFium uses Skia for rendering, we can hook it up to SkPDF and make this happen. We can even use this on Windows/Mac if we want print preview's Save As PDF to potentially generate a more optimized PDF, rather than just saving the source PDF.
