Displays the site URL in the tooltips for toolbarless app tabs.

Talked with Jesse if we should crop the URL or not.. The tooltip doesn't expand infinitely, and instead wraps reasonably well, so it seems it won't be necessary to crop them. I guess we can experiment and see

(I could just merge this in the main patch too, if wanted.. as it's a separate bug I made it in a separate patch)

This is obviously not accurate with regards to customizations. There's also no need for tabbrowser to know about "chromeless app tabs". What you really want here, I think, is check the visibility of the url bar.

This bug is marked to be blocking issue #649448.
But that issue can probably be resolved without depending on this issue. To me it seems that resolving issue #649448 would resolve this issue as well if we choose to show the URL on hovering a tab in any scenario (active/inactive/pinned app tab).
