Improve WebView multi-window UX (#2662)

- Navigation history for lower windows is preserved when a popup is opened
- Back gesture will close a popup window rather than the entire WebView activity when there is no previous page
- The leftmost close button closes the entire activity as before
- When a popup window is shown, a new button appears to close just that window
