This is needed to prevent removed search groups from coming back after
user interacts with the tab. E.g. if we don't fire this action, upon
interaction with the tab after a corresponding search group was removed
we will end up creating metadat with the deleted 'searchTerms' (they'll
be read from the 'historyMetadata' state on the tab).
At this point we probably want to start encapsulating all of this in a
use case - let's do that separately in
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/11309, and
just fix the bug for now.
This patch fixes two problems:
1) We were treating "direct tab load" as an event which applies
uniformally to all tabs, even though it's actually an event which
happens for a specific tab. This lead to background tabs (pages opened as new tab)
setting the direct load flag, and then a simultaneously loading
parent tab would incorrectly interpret that flag for itself.
The patch switches this tracking from a simple boolean (are we direct
loading?) to a set of tab IDs that are currently direct loading.
2) In a case when a background tab was loading with a parent who's
search terms were cleared by a direct load, we were not trying to
lookup search terms on the background tab's historyMetadata key,
which exists to capture search terms for this exact scenario.
The patch adds an additional fallback lookup for that path.
This moves the group removal logic to the place where the groups are
actually formed. This helps clean-up the fragment code a bit, and
removes the awkward 'allow mutate some random internal state' API from
the provider.
