The sandbox option allows multiple webContents in one renderer process, so using the only the renderer id to identify WebContents instances is no longer an option. WebContents::GetID now returns a 64-bit integer, which is composed of both the process id(high 32), and the RenderViewHost routing id(low 32). Also add a `GetProcessID` that retrieves the renderer process id, a requirement in some of our javascript code.
