Update Chromium snapshot to stable version 33.0.1750.170
This is meant as a baseline commit hence it does not include the patches we need to apply for QtWebEngine. All patches should be rebased on top of this commit so we can get rid of the external patches directory. In future these baseline commits always have to include the exact Chromium version returned by version_resolver.py's currentVersion() in their first line, so that we can retrieve the patches on top to apply on the upstream repository. This also includes a ninja update. Change-Id: I60abeadb785a3b7d149c58b65ddb5a823fed3083 Reviewed-by: Jocelyn Turcotte <jocelyn.turcotte@digia.com>

+The `console` pool
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+_Available since Ninja 1.5._
+
+There exists a pre-defined pool named `console` with a depth of 1. It has
+the special property that any task in the pool has direct access to the
+standard input, output and error streams provided to Ninja, which are
+normally connected to the user's console (hence the name) but could be
+redirected. This can be useful for interactive tasks or long-running tasks
+which produce status updates on the console (such as test suites).
+
+While a task in the `console` pool is running, Ninja's regular output (such
+as progress status and output from concurrent tasks) is buffered until
+it completes.
