Hash :f8d277e4 Message :Document the need for is_component_build = false
Setting `is_component_build = false` in the GN args is highly
recommended for standalone builds on Windows, to support the common
practice of moving libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll to an application's
directory. It makes them self-contained instead of depending on other
DLLs (like e.g. ext-ms-win-kernel32-sidebyside-l1-1-0.dll).
One notable exception is that the non-component build still depends on
d3dcompiler_47.dll, if the Direct3D backend is being used.
