Make Chromium compatible with UWP.

Reported by jebel...@gmail.com, Aug 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Edge/15.15063

Steps to reproduce the problem:
N/A

What is the expected behavior?
Chromium should be available as a downloadable, open-source app from the Windows Store for Windows 10 and Windows 10 S devices.

What went wrong?
Chromium (or Chrome, for that matter) is not available in the Windows Store for users with Windows devices to download and install.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Chromium should really come to the Windows Store as a UWP app due to the fact that it is so widely used by millions of users and devices across the Globe. Chrome has extraordinarily high market share for desktop browser usage across the globe, but with Windows 10 S locking down systems to only run UWP apps from the Windows Store and Microsoft being as pushy as it is for the rest of the Windows 10 user spectrum, now is the time to push forward and begin development on translating the current Chromium (and Chrome) apps for Windows x86 & x64 into UWP apps and continuing developing the browser as UWP-compatible into the future.

This seems more like a feature request, so marking as untriaged to get more input's on this issue.

Thanks!!
It seems to me that the rendering engine and such of Chrome could simply be hosted in a UWP wrapper with appropriate UI elements.
