As per oshima:

The ultimate goal is to eliminate TOOLKIT_USES_GTK. Once that migration is completed, TOOLKIT_VIEWS + OS_LINUX should be enough.

Until this happens, we need a binary that:
1) has both gtk and pure-views
2) can enable pure views components with --use-pure-views when possible (this is default in touchui=1).

If we could switch everything with --use-pure-views, that'd be nice, but the world is not perfect and there are things that cannot co-exist (such as message pump). For such component, we'll use GYP_DEFINES to switch.

1) TOOLKIT_USES_PURE_VIEWS is defined with toolkit_pure_views=1.
2) all (or most of) chrome features must be functional with toolkit_pure_views=1
3) both TOOLKIT_USES_GTK and TOOLKIT_USES_PURE_VIEWS are defined. The latter has higher priority (that is, if implementation can't co-exists, TOOLKIT_USE_PURE_VIEWS will take precedence).
4) As the migration proceeds, there will be less TOOLKIT_USES_GTK and more TOOLKIT_USES_PURE_VIEWS.
5) Once the migration is complete (that is, there is no TOOKIT_USES_GTK), we can remove TOOLKIT_USES_PURE_VIEWS or replace it with OS_LINUX when necessary.
