fix brave/brave-browser#806
If there is no private window with Tor open, fail.
=> TODO: This should fail noisily, beyond a console message.
=> One may be tempted to just create a private window with Tor, but:
. This is not obviously easy to do here.
. Users may not be happy if simply clicking a link can have the
effect of using Tor when they didn't intend.
If there is a private window with Tor open, create a new tab to load
the page.
=> User expectations around onion services are likely to be that
they provide anonymity, so opening them in the non-anonymous
window may be surprising.
=> It is not clear how easy it would be to load in a non-Tor window
and ensure that everything is nevertheless loaded through Tor --
and likewise links from it, &c.
