Remove default-page favicons for interstitials

Project Member Reported by maxwalker@chromium.org, Dec 19 2016

Issue description

We currently show the default-page favicon for chrome://interstitials like security/privacy errors and captive portals. The empty-page favicon doesn't communicate anything useful to users and distracts from omnibox and content-area warnings. Removing the favicon would also make sense semantically since interstitials aren't website destinations (with favicon branding) from a user's perspective. This would be consistent with the new-tab page that doesn't show a favicon either.

Adding omnibox component for tracking purposes.

Don't have anything to add, but I think this is a good idea.

Remove default-page favicon for interstitials

This CL removes default favicon from interstitial pages. The check to
do that needs to be done before checking the navigation entry, since
interstitial navigations don't commit until the user proceeds through
the interstitial.
