With the new tab strip, we'll keep the toolbar always visible in v1.

Disable dynamic toolbar when in new tablet UI (r=mcomella)

For v1, we'll simply disable dynamic toolbar behaviour on the new tablet UI.

I'd either call this `applicationContext`, or reserve the `.getApplicationContext()` call when it's actually used below. I'd prefer the latter, so we're less likely to accidentally leak the application context.

I don't understand why we short-circuit running the onEnabledChanged handler under these conditions - is it because we default to having the dynamic toolbar on? Why not assert these values *before* posting to the UI thread? Shouldn't this be taken into account with prefEnabled above?

Additionally, I think we should add some handling to the `isEnabled` method, as it seems to be duplicated here (...but given my reservations above, why is that? Shouldn't be just call `isEnabled()` to get the pref value here instead of duplicating?).

Stepping back a bit, I think we should keep the dynamic toolbar behaviour in the new tablet UI where both the toolbar and tabstrip slide in and out as you scroll web content. Keeping such a big chrome area always around is pretty bad design, especially on small tablets. We can refine the behaviour with fancier stuff if we want too but this is good enough for v1. I'll bring this up in our next tablet meeting.

Would be good if there would be an option to stick only tab bar, while keeping adressbar dynamic. Would offer better usability on large tablets and especially on 4:3 tablets.
