Tabs remember which tab was key when they were active

Project Member Reported by sdy@chromium.org, Mar 17 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 59.0.3044.0
OS: macOS 10.12.3

I'm genuinely unsure if this is a bug, but it was surprising to me :).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Make sure that chrome://flags/#tab-strip-keyboard-focus is enabled.
(2) Click on a few different tabs.
(3) Click on some of the same tabs again.

What is the expected result?
Not 100% sure.

What happens instead?
When you activate on a tab, the tab you clicked on to leave it becomes key.

There are other ways to repro this by focusing tabs with the keyboard and then switching among them in different ways.

These steps reproduce this:

1. Create a tab, so you have two.
2. Click on tab #2 to activate it and select it.
3. Click on tab #1 to activate it and select it.
4. Hit ctrl-tab to activate tab #2 without selecting it. Tab #1 stays selected.

There are probably other ways to tickle the same issue.
