URL bar autocomplete should not list file://// URLs which do not exist.

Reproducible: Always

2. Move the file somewhere else
3. Start to type in the same file://// URL again

Actual Results:  URL is still on list.

Expected Results:  Should delete the URL from list.

Drawbacks: NFS hangs (yuck!!)

Autocomplete is slow enough as it is, we don't need to start validating every
file url in the list before we show it.  If the file doesn't exist you should
get a clean error message when you try to visit it.
