Clean up ENABLE_WEBRTC define

Project Member Reported by kjellander@chromium.org, Feb 15 2017

Issue description

I'm suggesting we clean up the enable_webrtc GN variable [1] and the ENABLE_WEBRTC define. 

AFAIK there's no point building with WebRTC disabled and that configuration keeps breaking ( bug 667527 ,  bug 240988 ) since no bots are building with enable_webrtc=false.

perkj/tommi: do you know anyone that might be using this? You're the only ones except lally@ that showed up when I did git blame digging into where enable_webrtc was originally added...

I think it was added before WebRTC went into Chrome Stable (M27?) and was
later used by Android before Android supported WebRTC.
Is it used by IOS builds?

cc mbjorge@, who has filed  issue 667546  to create a bot with enable_webrtc=false for cast audio. Perhaps that's a use case for WebRTC disabled.
Thanks for the heads up. Let me take a look and see what the status is here. I believe we ultimately want to move to supporting webrtc on all our platforms, but we do explicitly set enable_webrtc false for some of them currently.
Looks like we need to keep enable_webrtc around. Building with enable_webrtc=true adds 2.5MB to our stripped user builds, which is a huge bump for our builds that are already pushing the limits of size on devices.

I think best action is for me to put  issue 667546  higher on my priorty list and get a bot building with enable_webrtc=false
