 * This is interface to preload the native library before calling System.loadLibrary.
 *
 * Preloading shouldn't call System.loadLibrary() or otherwise cause any Chromium
 * code to be run, because it can be called before Chromium command line is known.
 * It can however open the library via dlopen() or android_dlopen_ext() so that
 * dlopen() later called by System.loadLibrary() becomes a noop. This is what the
 * only subclass (MonochromeLibraryPreloader) is doing.
