Note: if we implement this API, we should make sure that we also implement APIs related to tab grouping, see bug 1959713 and dependencies for the desktop. There is no bug for the tab groups API on Android yet; we should file a new bug when we get to it.

The reason for having to implement the grouping APIs is that otherwise extensions are unaware of tab groups, and they could potentially freely move tabs around and take tabs out of the groups. Extensions working for desktop will automatically work as intended on Firefox for Android when we add groupId through the extension APIs.

The tab groups feature was announced at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/help-shape-tab-groups-on-firefox-mobile-for-android/m-p/123435#M48560

The "Add to group" option mentioned in that post was added in bug 2017776.
