Verify correct parameters for opening Connection Help page

Issue description

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/7ef72beedd573b8a81ad2f88e53f760c87bc34f1 was checked in to resolve  Issue 646465 .

I had questions about two of the parameters passed in the navigation call:

1. Does this end up sending Google the URL of the page on which the user asked for info on the connection? If so, is that desirable?

   webContents_->OpenURL(content::OpenURLParams(
   GURL(chrome::kPageInfoHelpCenterURL), content::Referrer(),
   WindowOpenDisposition::NEW_FOREGROUND_TAB, ui::PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK

2. Also, is there a reason to use PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK instead of e.g.  PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_TOPLEVEL? 



 
I think my concern about #1 was misplaced; the content::Referrer() parameter ends up creating a blank referrer.

The ChromeAutofillClient::ShowHttpNotSecureExplanation() method uses the same parameters.

I'm still not sure what how PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK is vs. PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_TOPLEVEL but it looks like your current code is in good company.
