Currently, it calls home at first launch, prompting for a login.  But
I've verified that it does not send any unsolicited requests for
subsequent startups, as long as the user does not change the
command-line flags.

Anyway I'm attaching the current iteration of this patch.  Chromium 62
is out today, I'll try to update this weekend and will push it after
that in lieu of other feedback.

I would be very happy if someone managed to complete the 62 upgrade
before me, however!  ;-)
