[Cast channel] Add feature to allow Cast devices on all IPs.
This is a workaround for enterprise setups (such as universities) where the network topology assigns public IP addresses to their Cast devices (presumably these devices are protected behind a firewall). Public IP addresses were disallowed in crrev.com/519857 which causes such setup to be broken, as users can no longer connect to those devices. To our knowledge there are at least 2 EDU setups (and a handful of individual users) that were affected by this. The workaround is implemented as a feature that is disabled by default. The intended target is affected users for whom the option of changing the Cast devices is infeasible (mostly EDU organizations). It can be enabled by passing in --enable-features=CastAllowAllIPs in the command line, or by turning it on in chrome://flags.
