1843606 - Add test api that can make use of the dev tools network throttler

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Andrew Creskey [:acreskey]]

For network performance tests, it is often necessary to set bandwidth restrictions or add latency.
The DevTools network throttler can simulate these network conditions and could be useful in creating certain performance tests.

Patch incoming. I prototyped this for a different test and it seemed to work quite well.

To create network tests that capture various codepaths and optimizations we need to fix network particulars such as latency and bandwidth.
This module provides access to the dev tools throttler for use in browsertime pageload tests.
