Open Recent Tab like desktop instead of clobbering

Project Member Reported by rolfe@chromium.org, Mar 2 2016

Issue description

UI Review approved new Recents tab opening behavior (match desktop):
https://groups.google.com/a/google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome-ui-review/qSrbilLIelo

Flows from nyquist@
1) foo.com -> bar.com -> overflow -> recents -> open a recent -> click web page entry for norway is beautiful
Result: Open a new tab with pretty pictures, but remove chrome://newtab#recent from source tab

2) NTP -> open recent tab -> click web page entry for norway is amazing
Result: Clobber current tab with pretty pictures (we don't need to launch a new tab and leave the NTP/Recents page hanging)

Leave longpress menu as is. Assigning to tedchoc@ for triage.

Summary: Open Recent Tab like desktop instead of clobbering (was: Issue Summary)
Adding a more helpful title. : )

Tangentially: would we be up for adding UMA to this page at all to determine how many people are long-pressing the links and opening in new tab from there?
