Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

 1) Pull the bottom edge hint up to open the tabs view, then tap the "New Tab" button
 2) Verify that you get the new tab view that displays bookmarks and top sites
 3) Close the browser
 4) Open the browser again

Expected result: the new tab view is opened

Current result: a blank tab is restored, but the new tab view isn’t there

Actually, this works on desktop, but not on a krillin with the latest vivid-proposed. Needs investigation.

This turns out to be yet another shortcoming of the implementation of the new tab view.

The history model and bookmarks model are instantiated asynchronously, but the NewTabView component checks their values at instantiation to add sections to the list model, and it doesn’t react to their becoming non-null asynchronously later on.
