"New window"/"New tab" from launcher does not open new window/tab for v1 or bookmark apps

Project Member Reported by michae...@chromium.org, Nov 4 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 62.0.3202.55
OS: Chrome

Set-up: This bug repros for any of the below combinations:

* Have a v1 (legacy) packaged app, or a bookmark app, installed (Examples: Secure Shell, Google Docs)
* Have the app's icon pinned to the shelf or not pinned to the shelf
* Have the app's "Open as window" option in its icon's context menu checked or unchecked

Meaning this repros regardless of whether the app is set up to open as a window or whether it's pinned to the shelf.

Repro steps, starting with the app not opened:

1. Launch the app, e.g. from the launcher.
2. Find the apps's icon in the launcher (e.g., search for its name)
3. Right-click the app's icon in the launcher
4. Choose "New window" or "New tab", whichever is available

Expected: The app opens a 2nd window/tab (or 3rd, 4th, etc. when these steps are repeated)
Actual: The existing window/tab is focused. No 2nd window/tab is opened.

NOTE: From the context menu in the *launcher*, "New window"/"New tab" works as expected.

NOTE: If the app is not launched yet (no tabs/windows for it are open), "New window"/"New tab" from the context menu launches the new instance as expected.

This repros for me in 63.0.3239.26 (Official Build) beta

It sounds like an app list regression, since the shelf context menu works.

P1 for user visible regression.
