Research direction

Start with the repository README and its current ANGLE updating process, then compare them with the upstream change described in Bugzilla 2035541. Check the vendoring location, the translator to translator_gn rename, and any affected defines or compile options; it is done when the documented process and repository configuration accommodate the new ANGLE layout.
