Android tablet omnibox icon changes icons too often when searching in new tab

Project Member Reported by lgar...@chromium.org, Aug 29 2016

Issue description

Version: 54.0.2840.0
OS: Android 6.0.1 (Pixel C)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open a new tab.
(2) Tap on the omnibox, but don't enter any text.
(3) Type a unique string of letters like "xzu"
(4) Type ".com" (so that it shows "xzu.com")

What is the expected output?
Behaviour that matches desktop: desktop.mov
(1) Search icon (note that the omnibox already has the cursor)
(2) Search icon
(3) Search icon
(4) Page icon

What do you see instead?
pixel-c.mp4
(1) Info icon (tapping on it shows Page Info for chrome-native://newtab/)
(2) Page icon
(3) Search icon (white magnifying glass on blue background, which does not match the style for the new security indicators. On desktop, it's just a gray magnifying glass.)
(4) Page icon

Labelling with Hotlist-SecurityIndicators because the introduction of the info icon makes the new tab page experience on Android tablets more confusing than before.

NB: Per [1], the correct icon for (4) is the page icon.

Adding to my queue. I haven't built for Android before so it'll be a good learning experience.

This only repro's on tablets and doesn't seem like a significant source of user confusion.
