[omnibox] Drop support  for non-substituting keywords in the Omnibox.

This CL updates KeywordProvider to drop support for non-substituting
keywords in the Omnibox (match type = HISTORY_KEYWORD), which were not
intended to be a major supported use-case of keywords in the first
place.

Users who used to rely on this functionality (i.e. non-substituting
keywords) can make use of bookmarks to achieve the same kind of effect
that was once served by such keywords. For example, instead of defining
a non-substituting keyword "foo" that navigates to "foo.com", users can
simply bookmark the "foo.com" webpage and title the bookmark "foo".
Then, entering "foo" in the Omnibox will surface the relevant
suggestion via BookmarkProvider.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure.

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
