Add support for the new `sidebar_action` allowing WebExtensions to create sidebars

Reported by aurelien...@gmail.com, Jun 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.86 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Mozilla added a `sidebar_action` allowing WebExtensions to create their own sidebar. cf [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/sidebarAction). Such an extension of the API opens the way to richer extensions, like [Tree Style Tab](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/?src=search). That would be a huge plus for Chromium to support such layout.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?

WebStore page: none yet (obviousy)

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.86  Channel: n/a
OS Version: ArchLinux
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

See  issue 477424 : the sidebar feature was discussed extensively to no avail, wontfixed under pretext of being too advanced to comply with "value of simplicity".
