Add gn bootstrap step to CQ bot

Project Member Reported by thomasanderson@chromium.org, Feb 12 2018 
gn_bootstrap.py frequently breaks because there's no bots on the CQ that test it.  We should add a step to stop these breakages.

dpranke, a few q's.

1. We decided this would be a good idea, right?
2. Should we add the step in parallel with compile, or possibly in parallel with all the tests?
3. Which bots should we add the step to.  Linux release (linux_chromium_rel_ng) is good enough for my needs.

I don't recall deciding this was a good idea :(. It might be, but I'd probably have to think through this again.

We wouldn't add it in parallel w/ compile (because compile should be using the whole machine already). We could conceivably add it in parallel w/ tests, but we do do some things locally even there as well. 

We'd probably be better off making this a separate builder.

Ok, do you think we should add maybe a linux_chromium_gn_bootstrap CQ bot and a "Linux Bootstrap GN" bot on master.chromium.linux?

Comment 3 by dpranke@chromium.org, Feb 13 2018 

*If* we were going to do this, then yes, that's what we'd do. 

But, I'd have to be convinced that this is useful beyond you and the downstream packagers.

The utility is currently limited to "I'm tired of fixing gn bootstrap"

Comment 5 by dpranke@chromium.org, Feb 13 2018 

Yeah, that's not enough to justify putting it into the CQ, sorry. I/We still don't consider gn_bootstrap.py something that all of chromium is on the hook for supporting.
