Chromium references on Supermium #956

On chrome://flags, I see "relaunch Chromium", on chrome://version, I see Chromium logo and wordmark, on about this browser in some languages (Lithuanian, Hebrew and Bangla) it says "Supermium is based on Supermium", in Hindi on some places, Chromium is written in Devanagari instead of Supermium in Latin, also Chromium icon on [Program Files]/Supermium/[Version]/VisualElements/, and Chromium Web Store icon on chrome_pwa_launcher.exe

I am mostly concerned about the main languages of Supermium users, which I understand to be English, Spanish, Russian and German, maybe Ukrainian and French as well (I don't need to comply with Loi 101 because LSC is such a small entity). But I will check these other languages and their patterns that are not compliant with the Supermium rebranding script which already has a clause to prevent "Supermium is based on the Supermium open source project" from occurring in most languages (Chromium/Google Chrome/Google Chrome for Testing references are "hard-coded" into strings and not defined with a variable such as IDS_PRODUCT_NAME, which complicates rebranding, as significant git conflicts will occur if the regular state of the branding is not kept as Chromium).

Chromium logos showing up are probably the result of the aggressive caching of resources when building. I will replace the Chromium branding in the resource folders ASAP when rebasing in future to prevent this from happening.

However, the Web Store icons are not misleading as Supermium uses the Chrome Web Store and not its own.
