Another regression due to the URL bar unification. STR:
1) Go to https://people.mozilla.org/~bnicholson/test/redirect.html
2) Tap the URL bar before the page redirects
3) Type something
4) Wait

The text in the URL bar gets replaced with redirect URL.
Given all of the URL bar regressions, I think we should go back to how we did this before: use separate views for displaying and editing the page URL. Here's a mega-patch that does the following:
* Moves the `AutocompleteTextField` back into `URLBarView`.
* Creates an `inOverlayMode` variable to track whether we're in the panel overlay state. This is different from the `editing` state on a `UITextField` (we don't want to leave the mode just because the field loses focus). I decided to call it "overlay mode" instead of "editing mode" to avoid that confusion.
* Removed lots of unneeded code, and lots of mini-refactorings.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the changes, but sorry I didn't split this up more. I can try breaking this down into smaller commits if needed.

Note that this breaks some URL bar a11y (in particular, the a11y-enabled context menu that allows Paste & Go, etc.). I'll keep working on that, maybe as a separate follow-up if everything else looks OK.
When testing this out, note that this should fix all of the regressions blocking bug 1183690 except for the domain autocomplete flicker.

Seems to work pretty well. Most of my PR comments were nits and naming stuff. Lets get it in and test(/write tests!).
