CrOS system tray requires stopping any other user's active sessions before accessing device list

Project Member Reported by dbbrooks@chromium.org, Jan 18 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 57.0.2970.0
OS: Chrome

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Have a network with at least 2 Chromecast receivers
(2) On that network have 2 different senders (laptops)
(3) Cast from one of the senders to one of the Chromecasts.
(4) On a ChromeOS device - the second machine, open the system menu. 

What is the expected result?
The system menu provides a way for users to Cast their desktop. Even when other Cast sessions from other devices are happening on the same network, they should still be able to Cast, without first stopping the other session. Given that there are other receiver devices available.

What happens instead?
The cast menu in the system tray displays the other user's Cast session with a stop button. In order to cast, the user would have to stop the unrelated session before accessing a device list. See screenshot. They'd have to stop a session that originated from a different sender and was being cast to a receiver that they were not planning to use.

It probably doesn't make sense to show non-local routes by default with STOP in this scenario.
Owner: tbuck...@chromium.org
Non local routes are no longer shown in the cast tray, which should deal with most of the pain from the bug.

Assigning to tbuckley@ for prioritization and mocks. I could also see this bug marked WontFix, since this is a less common scenario that system UI may not want to support.

Based on #3 seems like the main issue here is fixed: we no longer show the "stop" button for casts from other devices. Please re-open if needed.

@jdufault could you mark this as a dupe of the other bug around non-local routes?
