Remove prompt to re-enable disabled hosted apps when visiting a website

Project Member Reported by rdevlin....@chromium.org, Jan 5 2017

Issue description

We currently prompt the user to re-enable hosted apps that are disabled for permissions increases when they visit a website corresponding to that app.  This can become very annoying for users, since it isn't immediately obvious why it's happening, and we don't persist any choice.  We could improve the flow a little (e.g. persisting a choice), but really we should just remove it entirely.  Any website that absolutely needs a hosted app enabled can detect for itself that it isn't, and inform the user (with more context than chrome can offer).

[Extensions] Remove the prompt to re-enable app when visiting its site

We currently prompt the user to re-enable a disabled hosted app if they
visit the corresponding site. However, this can be really annoying, and
confusing, since we don't offer much context on the choice, and don't
persist the preference.

This is offering relatively little value, and the site (if it wanted)
could detect and inform the user that the app wasn't enabled, and give
them sufficiently more context.

However, we should keep this when the user visits a chrome-extension
url - this is a much stronger signal, and we can't display anything else
anyway (whereas visiting a hosted app's site still shows the site).

This was never tested, so add some tests.
