TalkBack + Chrome: No hint text explaining how to open a new tab

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Jun 8 2018

Issue description

Chrome version:	68.0.3440.14 (Official Build) dev (32-bit)
Android 8.1.0 Security Patch level: June 5, 2018
Accessibility Services version:	6.2.0.199471009 Beta APK
GBoard 7.2.9 version 26720914
Pixel 1 phone signed in with Chromium account (non-corp)

Enable TalkBack. When focusing on the button that says the number of tabs open, there is hint text to double tap to open. However, there is no hint text anywhere that opening it will allow you to get to the interface where you can add a new tab. 

Expected: hint text comes after leaving focus on the tabs button and other verbalizations are complete 

I've had reports from users that it's really confusing to open a new tab as a result. 
 
Attaching logcat with exact verbalization "Double-tap to activate., Double-tap and hold to long press."

It's probably not relevant but I wanted to add that these settings were on for all tests in this sweep:
Font text set to Largest
Display size set to Largest
Large mouse pointer set to On
Mono Audio set to On
Captions set to On with text size set to very large

srahim@ is our UX string writer. Please work with Shimi to get a UX approved string.

Shimi - the current string for the tab switcher icon is "3 open tabs. Double tap to activate" (for example).

There's a CL with a proposed change to "3 open tabs. Click to toggle tabs manager. Double tap to activate."

Can you please help with the string?

Change tab switcher button content description

TalkBack does not explain how to open a new tab in Chrome when focusing
the tabs button in the toolbar. Updated the content description for
this button to communicate how to open new tabs
