EV Study: Add console message about UI downgrade

Project Member Reported by cthomp@chromium.org, Jan 18 2018

Issue description

To reduce unnecessary surprise/developer frustration with our experiment (issue 803138), we should add a message to the developer console whenever the downgrade occurs. Something along the lines of:

"The SSL certificate used to load resources from <URL> meets Extended Validation criteria. For experimental reasons, this Chrome instance will display only the regular Secure indicator in the location bar."

Other things to keep in mind:

- There are other times when EV_SECURE gets downgraded. For example: when the certificate transparency requirement is not met. We should only show the message when the downgrade is caused by the Finch trial (this may make this blocked on landing  issue 803508 ).
- We should get the final string reviewed and approved by product/UX folks.
