Allow three-finger tab swipe on non-ChromeOS platforms (e.g. OSX)

Project Member Reported by victorhooi@google.com, Oct 31 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 55.0.2883.29 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) :
OS version               : 10.11.6
Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable):
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable):
Behavior in Chrome for Windows:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Using three fingers on your trackpad, swipe left/right in Chrome on OSX
(2)
(3)

What is the expected result?
This would allow you to swipe through tabs (much like you can on ChromeOS).

What happens instead?
Nothing happens.

On ChromeOS, using three-fingers to swipe left/right on the trackpad will cycle through tabs.

It would be great if this functionality could be ported across to other platforms (e.g. OSX, Windows, Linux). This would add useful functionality to them, and also reduce the mental overhead when switching between platforms. (e.g. I go between a Pixel (2015) and a Macbook, and the different tab switching shortcuts, and missing tab swiping on OSX is frustrating).

Three-finger left/right swipe moves you between Spaces on the Mac.
