1834585 - PlacesQuery#getHistory() should provide a default title if not given one by the database

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Under certain scenarios, such as loading a website via slow connection and then exiting out before it fully loads, we could have a history visit without a title. In this case, existing surfaces such as the Library and Sidebar default to showing the domain name in place of a title. The new History API should do something similar with the title property in order to avoid having blank spots in Firefox View where a page title should be.

This seems too opinionated. PlacesQuery should provide values returned by the db, and allow consumers to decide what to do with it.
