[WebView Support Library] Determine how to handle the fallback case where WebView is not new enough contain the support-library-glue.

Project Member Reported by gsennton@chromium.org, Jul 10 2017

Issue description

We need to be able to support developers using the WebView support library on devices where WebView is not up-to-date.

We probably want to use the existing android.webkit.WebViewProvider in such cases.

Related to this - we should also cover the case where the device is using an AOSP WebView (if that case is different to using an out-of-date GMS WebView.

When the WebView package on a device is too old to contain the support library glue the app developer should not be calling Support Library WebView APIs - we will provide a utility method for developers to call to check what Android level the support library corresponds to.
So if the app developer calls a Support Library WebView method anyway, that method should either be a no-op, or throw an exception.
The way we will do this is probably just to make our list of features empty if the WebView APK doesn't support the support library.
