"Exit and childlock" breaks sign-in/sync state

Project Member Reported by treib@chromium.org, Sep 14 2017

Issue description

Repro steps:
- Sign in to Chrome.
- Create a supervised user (or sign in to a child account in another profile), so make the "Exit and childlock" option available.
- In the first (non-supervised/child) profile, do "Exit and childlock".

In the user manager, observe that the profile goes into a "signin error" state. Trying to unlock triggers a dialog "You were signed out of your Google Account. Sign in again to continue."
After signing in again, the profile is unlocked, but the profile is still in a bad state (error icon in the profile menu), and Sync isn't working. After signing in yet another time, things work again, and future "Exit and childlock"s work as expected, without triggering the signin error state.

Marc, is this issue still valid? I know we deprecated supervised users, so maybe okay to let this stay closed out?
I imagine the same might still happen if there's a Unicorn account? (I don't have any of those so I can't easily test it.)
This wasn't really related to supervised users (or Unicorn) directly, just to the fact that their existence makes "Exit and Childlock" available.

I don't think that Unicorn accounts are launched for Chrome desktop yet? I'll keep this open for now, but decreasing priority to P3.
Right - AFAIK they're on Android and ChromeOS, neither of which have this kind of profile locking.

TBH, given that
a) the timeline for Unicorn-on-desktop is uncertain at best, and
b) the sign-in/auth flows have changed so much that I'm not even sure this still applies,
I'd probably just WontFix this for now, and re-evaluate if/when Unicorn ever launches on desktop.
(Also, as a corollary, all the childlock code is dead for now, and you could consider just removing it all.)

SGTM :)
