Window width is restricted to a minimum variable width

Reported by axel.cos...@gmail.com, Apr 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Try to resize window to a low width, for example under 300px.
2.  Add several pinned tabs and repeat.

What is the expected behavior?
Browser window width should be free to reduce until reducing the basic controls to its minimum display. Adding pinned tabs should not affect the window minimum width.

What went wrong?
Browser window has a minimum resize width which is very uncomfortable. It seems to be mainly determined for the omnibox (which has a determined minimum width)  plus the back, forth, reload amd menu buttons which are fixed and can't be hidden nor stretched. 
The worst part comes when you have several pinned tabs: for each of them the browser window minimum width increments in an arbitrary-like measure, with no logical purpose.

Did this work before? N/A

I think the core of this complaint is that pinned tabs affect the minimum width calculation.  This user wishes they didn't.

Without a general-purpose tab overflow solution, I don't think it's unreasonable for pinned tabs to affect the window min width.  Now, based on comment 0, maybe the min width is not being increased correctly for each pinned tab?
