Chromium should watch the escale setting "Scale for menu and title bars" in Display Settings at runtime

[Ara Pulido]

Chromium scales correctly on start up based on the setting applied to "Scale for menu and title bars" in Display Settings.

However, ideally, Chromium should watch this setting also at runtime and scale if it gets modified, as the GTK applications currently do.
