#16324: Focusing the search bar is already creating/using a circuit

If one focuses the search bar something like
{{{
Torbutton INFO: tor SOCKS isolation catchall:
https://search.disconnect.me/searchTerms/search?ses=Google&location_option=US
via --unknown--:2
}}}
is visible in the log. This gets worse with ESR 38 (see:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006103) where the search bar
on `about:newtab` and `about:home` is using speculative connect as well.
The argument that this speeds up the search process is not really valid in
the Tor case I think. Rather, this leaks information and uses the Tor
network which we should avoid.
