google-chrome: move independently of chromium
Historically, `google-chrome` used the version info and debian package
FOD provided by `chromium`.
This was very efficient, because `chromium` uses parts of the debian
tarball for Widevine (opt-in, via `.override`).
Meaning `chromium` has to track that debian tarball with each update
anyway.
And they always release in sync.
So why keep seperate `google-chrome` from `chromium` now?
- The current `chromium` maintainers are already at capacity
maintaining `chromium` and have no time for `google-chrome`.
- `chromium` bumps become sometimes a bottleneck for `google-chrome`.
This is because `chromium` is built from source and a lot more time
consuming and significantly more complex.
- Lately, `chromium` and `google-chrome` both had an upstream issue
under wayland with `--ozone-platform-hint`, rendering it unusable.
For `chromium` we were able to patch it, since unlike `google-chrome`
it's built from source.
The `chromium` maintainers simply forgot that `google-chrome` might
have the same issue, continued to merge the PR, rendering
`google-chrome` broken.
This PR also removes primeos from `meta.maintainers` since they only
added themself to `google-chrome` because it inherited `chromium`'s
version, stating they don't actually use `google-chrome`.
Furthermore, primeos no longer maintains `chromium`.
