Issue 6264 - Can't prepare libadblockplus dependencies

DEPS

 # This file is used to manage the dependencies of the Chromium src repo. It is

 # When adding a new dependency, please update the top-level .gitignore file

Why not to call here
python delete_dir.py src/third_party/libadblockplus/third_party/v8?

[anton, 2018/01/17 11:05:49]

Because `delete_dir.py` relates to 'libadblockplus-android' (and clears native
build cache) and `clear_dependencies.py` relates to 'libadblockplus'. They
should be separated 1)  logically 2) `delete_dir.py` is called 2 times (build
with built-in v8 to generate .info) and then before build with Chromium's v8.
