Commit 37dac0ef fixed the DCHECK crash
where variations_safe_compressed_seed was not registered, by calling
VariationsService::RegisterPrefs to register it. However, that
conflicted with some other prefs (variations_compressed_seed being the
first to fail) which were already being individually registered by
AwFieldTrialCreator. Registering them again caused a 2nd DCHECK crash.

To fix the 2nd crash, don't register any of those prefs individually;
they're all covered by VariationsService::RegisterPrefs.

Fixing the 2nd crash reveals yet a 3rd DCHECK crash, where FeatureList
is created twice: first in BrowserMainLoop::EarlyInitialization and then
in AwFieldTrialCreator. The second fails in FeatureList::SetInstance,
which requires that there be only one global FeatureList. This bug is
unrelated to the 1st and 2nd crashes; it just didn't appear because the
previous crashes prevented us from getting that far.

Since variations is always enabled in Chrome, Chrome always creates the
FeatureList during field trial setup, and always skips creating it in
BrowserMainLoop::EarlyInitialization. In WebView, variations may or may
not be enabled, so we must create FeatureList in exactly one of those
two places, depending on kEnableWebViewVariations.
