"Your Internet Connection is Being Controlled" bubble in incognito (without extension enabled for Incognito).

Project Member Reported by lgar...@chromium.org, Jun 24 2016

Issue description

Chrome 53.0.2774.3 
OSX 10.11.5

This is a followup to  Issue 620434 .

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Not sure. :-/
(2) Open an Incognito window.
(3) A bubble pops up. (incognito-proxy-bubble.png)

What is the expected output?
If the bubble points at the menu, the extension should presumably be in the menu.

What do you see instead?
The bubble points at the menu in incognito, but the extension in question is "not enabled" for Incognito in this profile (or any profile) and does not show up in the menu.

I guess the extension can have effects outside the profile, but for related bubbles ("Unsupported Extensions Disabled"?) this might make even less sense.

From  Issue 620434 , it may be that the regular window and the incognito window are racing to show the bubble, and in my case Incognito won. Is it possible to make sure the regular window wins?

Also observed on a second profile (same computer).

And now on the update reached my third profile, in a non-incognito window. The extension was already in the toolbar, but there was an additional visual artifact over the icon.

So, lots of things going on here - thanks for all the detailed info!

We show the bubble in incognito because incognito and non-incognito share the same overall extension system (though extensions being enabled/running are dependent on the extension permissions).  As such, we probably shouldn't show most of these bubbles for an incognito profile (if the extension is not enabled).  Proxy might be interesting, though, because I'm not sure whether or not an incognito profile uses the main profile's proxy settings.  Looks like stevenjb@ is an owner of proxy_config, Steven, do you know?

From #1, did the second profile have the extension installed?  If so, sounds like expected behavior.  If not, then that's weird.

The additional visual artifact from #2 is expected behavior - we highlight extensions when we point to them.  The highlighting looks a little weird with a custom theme, but I think it's probably not something we're going to optimize given limited UX resources.
