Per https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rNVAKEYKss7cpL-iulx7hFoxVEy2fH2gJ_Eqoeq9qAc/edit, there are cases where the lack of a toolbar icon for Cast / Media Router can put the user in a loss of control scenario. We propose to display the Cast icon in the toolbar during while a local session is active, even if the user hasn't permanently added the icon to the toolbar.

There are two ways to hide the action icon: one is to put it in the hotdog menu (what normal extension icons do when you click on "Hide in Chrome menu" in their context menu). The other is to just not show it anywhere. The former is better in terms of discoverability, but I'm not sure if we're allowed to do that. skonig@, what do you think?
In the case where the user wants to remove the icon from their toolbar, I
think we have to completely remove it. If the user chooses to pin the icon
to their toolbar, they can then later choose to move it to the
Hotdog/overflow if they want.
I've implemented the ephemeral icon, as shown in the attached video. skonig@, please let me know if there are any changes you think I should make. If it looks good I'll be submitting this for code review.
