Update chrome.processes API to have platform independent metrics

Project Member Reported by creis@chromium.org, Sep 28 2017

Issue description

One concern with the current (experimental) chrome.processes API is that the memory metrics are not the same on different platforms.  This makes it hard for extensions to interpret the values without checking what platform they're running on (which is unusual for extensions).

This was true of CPU metrics as well, until  issue 741202  was recently fixed.

erikchen's proposal (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PZyRzChnvkUNUB85Op46aqkFXuAGUJi751DJuB6O40g/edit) should hopefully make this possible.

Assigning to you for now, so that you can triage.

I don't think Nick was planning to work on this either, so I'm leaving it marked as available.  (Nick, feel free to grab it if you disagree.)

erikchen@'s Memory Footprint metric (platform independent) appears to have landed in r506220 in issue 771382.  That's probably what the chrome.processes API should be updated to use.
who in the team can triage and work on this?
Our team (Site Isolation) currently has no cycles to work on this API. We are happy to help with consulting for anyone that takes it up!
