This comes up with the quasi-defunct profile system. Local State is
supposed to be cross-profile, while the stuff in "Default" is your
profile data. The safe browsing data in Local State should always stay
with the safe browsing files, which currently stay in user-data-dir. I
suspect the metrics stuff should also be cross profile.

Do we need this profile support? The interface has been hidden behind
a command line flag "enable-udd-profiles". Is it time to rip all of
this profile stuff out?
