Add a Chromium flag to disable "most visited" on local NTP

Reported by yegortim...@gmail.com, Jan 16 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new tab page.
2. Look for #most-visited element.

What is the expected behavior?
Should be possible to hide it.

What went wrong?
There are flags to disable doodles, omnibar, etc. for new tab page, but no flag to disable most visited pages.

This can't be implemented externally: addons that override newtab page also disable bookmarks. Custom CSS also can't be injected into this page.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132  Channel: stable

yegortimoshenko@ Thanks for the issue.

As per the original comment this is a Feature request.
The reporter wants a flag to disable most visited pages on NTP.

Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev.

Thanks..

Since we're allowing users to delete MV shortcuts completely in the upcoming redesign, I am not sure the flag is needed. Marking as Won't Fix.
