Give easier access to the Page Title

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, Dec 4 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.40 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
In Firefox all one needs to do is CTRL+I and there the Page Title is, ready for the user to copy with his mouse.

What is the expected behavior?
Users would like to say "Grandpa, I was browsing a page that was titled ...". They see the title in the tab "handle area", but cannot copy it.

What went wrong?
In Chromium getting the Page Title requires entering Developer Tools and digging much further. The Page Title is definitely a mom & pop item and should not need Developer Tools to copy.

Did this work before? N/A

I think sharing a page is a legitimate use case, but specifically getting at the page title is probably too fine-grained an approach.  We're thinking some about how page sharing should work.

Also, ctrl-i in a current Firefox build doesn't give me an easily-copyable page title.

Only if you promise not to close it again after 180 days.

 Just highlight it and press copy. At least better than nothing.

Anyway, imagine a book where we were allowed to copy text, but not the title.

Anyway, there it is, the first thing there at the top of the screen, but we can only type it all over by hand, because we are prevented from sharing it any other way.
