Verbose address bar autocomplete announcements in NVDA

Project Member Reported by aleventhal@chromium.org, Dec 6 2017 
NVDA is quite verbose when the address bar gets focused. NVDA says, "[Current tab title] window main  tool bar Address and search bar  edit  has auto complete
selected [Current URL]".

Taking the extra utterances one at a time:
- I can see an argument for reading the current tab title. If that is not beneficial we should ask NVDA to change this.
- "window" -- this seems entirely unhelpful, ask NVDA to remove.
- "Main toolbar" -- we should just remove this ourselves
- "Has autocomplete" -- perhaps it would be a lot more helpful to say this after the current value of the text field? It's annoying enough right now that I almost want to lie and leave this attribute off. Checking with Mick from NVDA on how best to proceed.

Reduce verbosity of address bar with screen readers

When the address bar is focused, there is no useful reason for the user
to hear "main toolbar" before hearing the useful info -- the current
control and the current URL.

Still says "Has autocomplete" and "Ctrl+L" before getting to the useful info, but that is an NVDA design decision that they say their users are accustomed to.
