When a user customizes their homepage, the Home button should be added to the toolbar automatically so that the user can easily get to their homepage.

There's an open question about cases when we shouldn't do this, for example if the user has manually hidden the home button already (recently?).

Whiteboard: [proton-toolbar]

From Romain: Add the button if users did not manually remove it previously AND they manually set a custom URL for home

An option for recording if the user has removed the home button manually would be to create a listener similar to SearchWidgetTracker [1] to record a pref that the home button has been removed. It looks like this shouldn't get triggered by the code to automatically remove the home button with proton enabled, but could be good to confirm that.
