[HTTPS-Everywhere] Chrome 2014.8.22 ("extremely stable") released

[Peter Eckersley]

I fought hard with the Chrome team to get them to reintroduce a sensible
way for developers to install their own .crx files, but I failed:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=133818

We clearly need to update our documentation to explain to people how to
use the "load unpacked extension" command on the pkg/crx/ subdirectory
after running the Chrome build script.

We should also probably start building and hosting intermediary .zip
files as well as the final .crx files, since it isn't possible to do
"load unpacked extension" on a .crx.
