clean up the plugins metadata file

Project Member Reported by wfh@chromium.org, Feb 14 2017

Issue description

The plugins metadata files contain a lot of deleted npapi plugins and really only needs to contain flash.

These files are located in chrome/browser/resources/plugin_metadata/

Also, some of the terms used e.g. 'needs_authorization' are probably now defunct.

This file needs cleaning up.

This should probably be done.

Remove superfluous plugin metadata.

These are old plugins that never load. See http://shortn/_mYd6V5DGXg.

Also, make sure resources get rebuilt correctly when metadata is
updated.
