1450539 - Visited URLs in a Unicode domain name don't show in the candidate list of the address bar when I typed the Unicode character contained in the Unicode domain name in the address bar.

For example, If I visited a URL in a Unicode domain name, say 測.本/index.html, and then I went to some other page, and cleard the address in the address bar, and then I typed 測 in the address bar, but the candidate list of the address didn't list the address I just visited.

Typing the Punycode portion(測.本 is Punycode-encoded as xn--g6w.xn--8pv), such as "g6w", will list the URL, but it isn't enough, because obviously the user doesn't want to remember Punycode domain names, typically they will type the Unicode characters in a Unicode domain name to list the URLs they have visited.

BTW, it is pretty much the same kind of the issue in bug 1450543 , which happens in the search history bar. So I wonder if we can fix this kind of issues in a common way.

we store the url with punycode, and thus we likely just match on that.
