Chromium does not function after AppData\Local\Chromium becomes a symlink

Reported by pasthe...@gmail.com, Nov 16 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Chromium, use it for a while, install extensions.
2. While Chromium not running move the directory somewhere and make a dir symlink with mklink.exe instead of its dir.
3. Launch Chromium

see also: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=750597

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
After stating Chromium previously opened tabs on the tab bar appear, but the viewport in the tabs themselves are completely blank with a solid dark grey/black color. Popups in the lower right corner pile up notifying about crashed extensions. (FlashBlock, ChromeIFox, etc.)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3269.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

Thanks for filing the issue! This looks like issue with extension directory, hence adding the respective label for it to  triage further.

Thank You!
