Add rtc_common_public_deps

When built for chromium, some webrtc implementations are overridden and
are implemented by chrome's "//base". For instance webrtc::Location is
implemented by base::Location. So far so good, the affected targets are
correctly defined in GN to depend on base.

The problem: Most targets in webrtc do not declare correctly their
public_deps. When a public header of a target includes one from its
dependency, the dependency must be a public_deps. The public_deps
instruct GN to forward the capability to use code from the dependency
toward the dependent.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to fix the `public_deps` in webrtc,
because its is disallowed via a presubmit. See:
https://webrtc-review.googlesource.com/c/src/+/30262

WebRTC developers decided not to use `public_deps`, because GN config
are "translated" toward different kind of downstream build system who do
not really support the `public` dependencies concept. Instead WebRTC is
using some "common" configuration applied to all of its targets.

This patch add `rtc_common_public_deps` argument, to let embedders
add the dependencies WebRTC depends on.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
