Sync from Chrome on first launch on Android

[mherrmann]

Description

This may not be technically possible.

On first launch on Android, Brave has no data from the user whatsoever - visited sites, passwords, sessions. This makes the first-run experience pretty bad. It would be great if we could find a way to sync some of the data just mentioned from Chrome into Brave. Maybe it can be achieved by offering a "log into Google" type of functionality (just for pulling the data initially).
