Sync should record navigation events that result in Android intents to other apps

Project Member Reported by zea@chromium.org, Apr 19 2017

Issue description

On Android, if the user opens either an android protocol link (e.g. market://), the link will be automatically opened in the app that is registered to handle those links.

Similarly, if an app registers as the handler for certain domains (e.g. facebook.com), those will also result in opening the app instead of opening within Chrome (although the user may be prompted to choose how the link should be handled).

We should track these navigation events within Tab sync, for the purpose of letting users better understand their navigation history. Currently, because these navigation events don't trigger WebContents navigations, we don't record them at all.

FYI the current tab sync logic all lives in components/sync_sessions. It's not yet clear what it would take to listen to android navigation events.

Archiving for now, re-open when/if we need to do this.
