Remove "Open in Chrome" menu item from help pages and other things using the EmbedContentViewActivity

Project Member Reported by dfalcant...@chromium.org, Sep 7 2016

Issue description

Rebecca: would UX have strong objections to removing the "open in chrome" item in this mini-Activity?  The Activity is generally used to show web pages when the Clank browser shouldn't be displaying the tab, like a help page for a dialog that's on top of the browser, or when the user is still going through First Run and is (gasp) reading the Terms of Service and can't be sent to Chrome yet.

Neither Ted or I can figure out why the menu was first added, and can't determine if it adds any value.  One benefit of it includes closing a class of bugs that involve navigating to rarely used internal help pages and putting Chrome in a bad state.

I'm OK closing it if it streamlines things! Guessing there's no metrics on it so suppose we should just keep an eye out in the feedback threads if there's any issue with removal.

Get rid of "Open in Chrome" from EmbedContentViewActivity

Discussion resulted in zero-ish cases where this would be useful.
